If its not the air, then its the air's impact on the ball, drying it out or something, because Arizona has been MLB's launching pad for a while, to the point where the D-Backs are wondering if they should use a humidor to store their balls in.
Anyway, regarding Cain's bomb, if you know Surprise stadium, his ball almost reached the flowers.
