    Quoted: A Tufts physicist and baseball fan will publish an article in the upcoming issue of the American Journal of Physics detailing how a small increase in muscle mass could increase the amount of home runs a professional-baseball-level player would hit by over 50 percent.

      Smaller parks certainly account for some of the dinger inflation.

      Personally, i would be much more interested in professional sports if all performance enhancing drugs were legal. Imagine 18 players, each 200 pounds of pure muscle (instead of the moderately flabby state of many baseball players today) running faster, throwing faster, hitting further. I think it would be much more entertaining.

      I believe that if performance enhancing drugs were made legal, the actual difference in enjoyment of the sport would be negligible. Any positive impact that the additional mass would have on the quality of the competition would be moot compared to the additional injuries, for starters.

      In any case, look at cycling for an example of a sport where everybody is juiced. Yeah, not really that exciting.
