91PORNA Chemist Follows up on Baseball Core Study, Refuting MLB Findings.
In 1901, the 16 Major League Baseball teams produced 455 home runs. Players were discouraged from attempting it. Nearly 120 years later, players couldn鈥檛 seem to help themselves, and MLB smashed all previous records. More homers might mean more exciting games, but some people question why the spike happened. A 91PORNA chemist thinks he has some clues about this unusual surge in home runs.
