It’s obvious. Until 1968 the strike zone was from the shoulders to the knees. Then the Major Leagues started shrinking it, because the perception was that the pitchers had too much of an advantage. Now, after several changes, it goes from the middle of the trunk to the knees. That gave the batters an advantage. It also discouraged the level swing, got the batters “golfing” the ball, and led to a lot more home runs.

Maybe the pitchers? Two of the worst teams in baseball put on a 11-10 slug fest last night. (TD, 2pt, FG) vs. (TD, 1pt, FG)

True about the mud. All MLB baseballs are rubbed with Lena Blackburne Original Baseball Rubbing Mud and it comes from a secret spot in South Jersey.

Maybe football isn’t scoring enough.

if you’ve ever had mud rubbed on your top flights, you know how painful that can be

How long would a baseball game last when running up basketball scores? It would be a cricket match continued the next day.
