Home Runs are rarer than they have been in Major League Baseball since the H.W. Bush Presidency. There are .9 home runs being hit per baseball game in the 2014 season, a slight decrease from last year's .96. Looking over the long term, however, baseball has seen a steady decrease in home runs over the last ten years.
