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

Guest “Just a bit outside! ” by David Middleton

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

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

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:
