You VERY CLEARLY said that every ball that hit the warning track last year would've been a home run because of the 20 foot addition.

Actually, he didn't say that. He said:

A typical warning track is 15ft. A 350 ft hit/out that doesn't leave the park increased by 5% will go 367. Holy fricking shite 17 feet. So that means that any ball that touched the warning track in between the gaps last year, theoretically, would have left the park. This doesn't take into account ball that landed deep on the track closer down the lines.

Words are important. He then further diminished that # by taking 2/3s of them:

So how do we come to a number for last year of balls to the track without going through every piece of film? Can we assume it happened once every 2 games? That seems kind of low, but okay. That would lead us to the number I mentioned earlier... 30! OMG!!! Now, all I'm saying is that 2/3 of that number is a good probability.
