The way it looks to me, moving the fences back not only decreases HR output, but also batting average. This is backward, I would think. Moving the fences back creates more fair ground to cover, which should increase batting average. I would think the extra singles, doubles, and triples would more than make up for the lost home runs. Thoughts?
I will try to get a stadium submitted in the next couple of days.

My gut tells me that this should be true, but I think that the way it is set up would be correct. I think that today players would possibly be able to cover the ground, but are limited by the fence. So they would be able to get to more balls with a farther fence and anything that they are unable to get to would be an extra base hit. So in essance they are still able to get to all the shorter balls like they currently are able to but now also able to get some additional balls that they would not be able to get to. Therefore causing BA to drop with HR.
