Man, 2 things I hope they don't do to combat homeruns is raise the mound or increase the strikezone.
One thing that gets overlooked when people are discussing the historical rate of HR's is the historical rate of K's. Body armor, moving the batter's box, regulating bat handle width, etc I'm fine with because you'd see people slapping outside pitches to the opposite field for cheap singles again. If baseball raises the mound/increases the strikezone, we should just give Randy Johnson 400 K's before the season starts.
