In other important, somewhat strange baseball news, the commissioner's office has announced that balls must be stored at a uniform temperature after they are delivered from the manufacturer. Rawlings has recommended the baseballs be stored at 70 degrees with 50% humidity. This decision comes after much debate concerning the humidor installed at Coors Field.
Some players have complained in the past about the humidor balls, specifically, new Minnesota Twins third baseman, Jeff Cirillo. He played for the Colorado Rockies from 2000-2001 and claims the baseballs stored at Coors are spongy, big and water-logged. He even went so far as to accuse the club of cheating, somehow.
