Nor would I ever argue that, in fact I would be stunned to learn that this was the case. If indeed the ball is livelier, I am sure it is due to some change or drift in the manufacturing process, and I am sure that the balls are still "in spec." However, I have read that the specs. are rather wide, so perhaps the specs. ought to be reviewed, IF the year-to-year variation at the Costa Rica plant can produce big shifts in fly ball distance...</p>Greg RybarczykMon, 20 Apr 2009 11:06:29 -0000
