If Global Warming Is Causing More Homeruns in MLB, It’s Also Causing More Strikeouts

After reading Anthony’s excellent takedown of the claim that climate change is causing more homeruns in Major League Baseball, one thing really stood out: The authors of the BAMS paper didn’t know jack schist about baseball.

Here’s the abstract of the BAMS paper:

Global warming, home runs, and the future of America’s pastime
Christopher W. Callahan, Nathaniel J. Dominy, Jeremy M. DeSilva, and Justin S. Mankin

There must have been special global warming back when Babe Ruth played.  Since he was such a homerun hitter, it only stands to reason a shaft of global warming descended from the heavens when he came to the plate.  He was also known for his skills at striking out which verifies that column of global warming was there. :silly:
