Doubles

During the 1920s, Major League Baseball introduced rule changes which resulted in the "live ball" era, making it easier to hit the baseball for power. Prior to that, hitting a home run was a fairly rare occurrence. This live ball era also affected the number of doubles, as that is another good indicator of power. Our baseball historian knows that in the modern game, power hitters tend to hit a lot of doubles as well as home runs, and would like to understand whether the relationship between doubles and home runs has remained consistent over time. We will use a scatter plot (or scatter chart) to figure this out.
