Science & The Outfield

Here’s an fascinating read from Nicholas Bakalar at the NY Times. The text delves into the science behind line drives, specifically those that head into the outfield and how outfielders (Abreu and Damon are quoted) react to and deal with them. If you’ve ever played baseball before (little league, babe ruth league, whatever) and have been in the outfield, then I’m sure you’ll be able to relate to this piece.
