MLB: Balls and Pujols

MLB has just announced that all teams have to keep their baseballs in temperature-controlled rooms (a few do now but all of them will be required from this point). This will keep the balls from shrinking in colder temperatures, etc. This idea is most recognizable with the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. Because Coors Field is at a higher elevation, it has thinner air and the balls need to be stored in a "humidor" to keep from being effected and easier to hit out of the ballpark. For more on the Coors Field effect, read an earlier post of mine. Here is the article announcing the new rule.

As for Albert Pujols, he officially became a U.S. citizen on Wednesday. Welcome to America! He lived the American dream before becoming an American.
