I think the bigger bases will have more impact than they might think. Not only the safety factor, but I think it will actually raise batting averages. It seems in every game there are several batters that are thrown out at first by a matter of an inch or two. Also more bases stolen for the same reason. I think all of this is a good thing. My favorite part of the game is base running, and this should increase it. Not going to be good for pitching stats, though.
