Baltimore Birds Nest noticed that Brian Cashman mentioned that home runs are traveling farther this year, about eight feet on average. He wonders if this is correct.
On a related note, The Book Blog wonders how home runs distances are measured in the first place.
I think Cashman is wrong, and I updated my post to reflect my findings.
