I understand there is absolutely no love for MLB here, but I'll post anyway.

I have noticed this trend coming for a while. Homers seem to be going up, but it appeared to be coming at the expense of getting hits in general. The New York Times has posted a piece about this very phenomenon. It seems that not even Major League Baseball is immune from the instant gratification society. Looking back Sammy Sosa and Mark McGuire now appear normal in this day in age where heavy hitter risk cracking 200 strike outs in a season.

Bunch of fascist pitchers if you ask me...
