on the days that he goes into the box.
Fans all over the country have been
a bit mystifed by the actions of the

reason? Oh, well II you toss around a
lead ball for hve or ten minutes and then
switch quickly to a regular baseball, the
difference in weight is such that the
baseball seems little heavier than a ten
mis- globule.
And the result Is binding speed.
