But you may be surprised that for maximum home run potential, this is NOT the best baseball weather!
Cool air is more dense. The molecules are more densely packed together. A hard hit ball won't travel as far.
Warm and humid air, on the other hand, is less dense. The molecules are spaced further apart. On a hot and humid summer's evening, that fly ball will travel much further and will have a greater chance of making past the end of the outfield and become a home run!
