Perhaps the change that professional baseball is looking for to gather a wider audience

I read about these new bats - it seems like they are leading to more homers, which is probably not a bad thing for the sport.

Yea, this is actually really funny. Baseball has been around forever in the US, and just now someone discovers that the design of this bat is the greatest thing ever for hitting?! It'll be a hot item for a few months, will make the manufacturer a ton of money, and then we'll move on to the next big innovation in bats. It's happened many times over the years in MLB. What's the old saying, it's the magician not the wand? It's the players hitting homers, not the bat.

Guys, hitting is not about muscle. It's simple physics. Calculate the velocity, v, in relation to the trajectory, t, in which g, gravity, of course remains a constant. It's not complicated.
