Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies, has been one of the most regarded "hitter friendly" ballparks in the Major Leagues. Ever since it opened in 1995, players have enjoyed hitting in the thin airs of Colorado. However, as of late, Cincinnati Reds' home, Great American Ball Park is giving players a new place to hit homers by the bunches.

The Cincinnati Reds just finished sweeping the Atlanta Braves in a four-game series. In this series there were a total of 16 home runs hit. That is an average of four home runs per game. 

Out of all the players who hit homers, Braves' outfielder Michael Bourn was the most surprising. He did not hit one homerun, he hit three homeruns. Two coming in the second game of the series. They were not cheap shots either, they averaged a distance of 396 feet.

Bourn is not a homerun hitter. He is known for being a speedster as in the past three seasons, has led the Majors in stolen bases. After the series in Cincinnati, he has four homeruns. He had four homeruns in 2010 and 2011 combined.

Maybe there is something in the Cincinnati air that people have not been talking about. In 21 games at the ballpark there have been 57 home runs hit a game. That means, on average, there are 2.71 homeruns hit in this ballpark. Almost three a game. 

Joey Votto must feel like the man for locking up a deal in for the home team of that park. 

In comparison to Coors Field, so far, Great American Ball Park is right behind in numbers. Coors Field has hosted 22 games this season and players have hit 60 homeruns. That means 2.73 homers are hit there per game. 

In 2011 though, there were more homeruns hit in Cincinnati than in Colorado. Players hit 195 homeruns in Colorado. Meanwhile hitting 209 homeruns in Great American Ball Park, the same amount hit in Yankee Stadium. 

Despite Coors Field being notorious for offensive production by players, Great American Ball Park provides hitters with friendly dimensions. After all those homeruns hit in Great American Ball Park this past week, it is time a new ballpark was recognized as the friendliest for sluggers.
