The effects of expansion are typically felt for about 3 years before peak individual values are back to normal. Again, since expansion affects pitching and hitting equally in terms of talent distribution, I'm not implying in any way shape or form that there was a homerun increase caused by the last expansion. 93, yes, because of Colorado. 98, no.
