A brief description of air density
The less dense the air, the further a ball travels. See Coors Field in Denver (since they are 5000+ feet above sea level the air is always MUCH less dense than any other ballpark). Other factors besides elevation that impact air density are temperatures (the warmer it is, the less dense the air is) and humidity (the more humid it is, the less dense the air is). So in a perfect hitting environment for optimal distance for a batted ball, you want a hot, humid day in Denver (a 10 on the scale I use). A cold, dry day in Boston is the worst environment for a batted ball in terms of how far it will travel (a 1 on the scale).
