Look it up if you don't believe me . . . I was listening to a radio show a few months ago and one of the announcers said that some lady did a comparison of the baseballs in the current crazy "live ball era" vs baseballs from about five years ago.
The baseball from a few years ago had nine more stitches than the current incarnation. This gives less drag to the current ball and lets it carry further. That's why you see so many opposite field home runs.
Again . . . I have no info other than hearing some guy say some lady did some tests. If you want to prove me wrong, I'll accept it but that made far more sense to me than believing that the idiots today are better hitters than yesteryear.
