Climate change blamed for more home runs in baseball: Warmer air, more dingers

Doc Adams shaped the national pastime more than any other individual, but his name was lost to history. Baseball enthusiasts are now rallying behind his legacy, saying he deserves America’s acclaim and a spot in the Hall of Fame.

Over 500 home runs in Major League Baseball since 2010 can be attributed to climate change, a new study that has attracted widespread media attention claims.

The study claimed that the upward trend in home runs in professional baseball is owed in part to rising temperatures making air less dense and allowing baseballs to travel farther when hit.

Scientists acknowledged, however, that there are other factors as well to account for the increased amount of home runs in baseball.
