Re: [Phys-l] TV technology, the World Series and physics



Interesting, maybe. Using aluminum bats would also make the game
interesting. But who would like this if only a few teams could use them?

The fields for football, hockey, basketball, soccer, and tennis are all
uniform. Baseball is different and unique in this regard. But along the
same lines, it is unfair and makes batting statistics meaningless.

Didn't mean to ramble on about this non-physics topic. We can discuss more
off list.

But does this variation not make the game more interesting?

bc thinks the data can be normalized for the purpose of comparison?
