in Coors Field. More fly balls becomes a homer with less air resistance.
Rockies had purposely created the outfield big in order to solve this, but
it only resulted in increasing the area for fielders to cover, making more
hits. The reduction in home runs were not even so effective, numbers of
homers in Coors Field always stands in the top three every year.^18
On the contrary, pitcher-friendly fields such as Oracle Park are located in
San Francisco, next to the McCovery cove. Oracle Park has an altitude of
15 ft, with air with high density and humidity. 19 Batted balls receive
more resistance from high density, decreasing the flying distance. High
fence height and the breeze generated from the bay also resists the flight
of the ball.
Most areas of mathematics are based on deductive reasoning. We
logically attempt to prove the conclusion from premises and judge the
reasoning with accuracy and precision. We have an irrefutable answer.
Unlike other areas of maths, statistics is based on inductive reasoning.
We ultimately create unclear conclusions, and its reliability depends on
our ability to analyse data which supports and defends our claim. We use
phrases such as “Data suggests” or “Data strongly supports” to
summarize our conclusion. It is incorrect to use words such as “proves”
or “confirms”.
Some of the reasons for getting bored in math are that the terms are
unfamiliar, there are lots of conditions and rules, and there are many
things to memorize. Baseball might also seem boring and difficult since
there are difficult terms and many rules.
However, if we start approaching baseball and mathematics with basics
