I think the main reason is players going to the gym and bulking up. For example you look at a guy like Nomar who isn't very big at all so he only hits about 25-30 hr's a year, then you look at a big guy like Adam Dunn and you can see where he gets all his power.
Yeah people working out to hit HRs isn't a problem with me. Its not like that's not allowed. LOL
But its my problem that they MOVE IN THE FENCES so that players can hit more.
There have been about 10 ballparks that have moved in the already small distances which shouldn't be done.
Some people say well there was a power surge in the 1930s.
They are correct but there's a problem with that. First its because they replaced the inside of the balls with what they currently have today. Second fences were about the same average distance they are now to left, 30 feet deeper to the right, and 50 feet deeper to center.
Players complain about fences being 415. They should play with them being 450.
I can guarentee you that there would be a power outage if that happened.
If anybody has ever been to the baseball HOF recently you will understand. The bats, balls, and fences were so different from today's that it was just amazing to look at.Selling all my cards here updated as of May------------> Hidden Content

I'd vote on Barry more likely to break 755 homers than Tiger winning 19 tourney total
All Barry has to do is average about 20 homers for next 5 season.
Or 35 for next 3 seasons. He's in great shape, has tremendous batting speed, even for 40-y/o. His only weakness is his defense, as he's gotten slower (don't we all?) as he has aged.
but, Barry has stated he'd like to finish his career as a DH, preferably at a West Coast team, like the Angels/A's
As for Tiger --- yes, it certainly looks like he could winning 10 more tourneys in the next 20-30 years, given his young age.
But, remember, he's got to finish FIRST. Finishing second, third, etc....is no good.
And Golf is one tough sport. You are battling yourself, the elements (wind, rain), media, fans who yell during your backswing, cell phones going off as you swing, and of course, the other players.
Thus, I bet that Barry is more likely to break Aaron's record, than Tiger breaking Nicklaus record
