Yea, in the rush to get the video done before the Phillies got eliminated in game 5, we overlooked a couple of tracks that were panned to the left only. Not usually a problem unless your using earphones, but glad at least your left side enjoyed!

Can't the guys who make the balls just make them less shiny and with better grip out of thefactory? Baseball has too many useless stuff being kept with the excuse of "tradition"

Why is this a dirty little secret??

Ray Chapman was actually killed back when they didn't use a new ball for every game--balls were used until they literally came apart at the seams. A pitch came at Chapman's head and in the dusk, he didn't see it. After that umpires began using new balls at every game, but pitchers complained they were slicker than the old, beaten-up balls they were used to. Hence, mud.
