Baseball humidors

OK, so this isn’t exactly a cigar humidor. But, lots of us love baseball and it interesting the relative rates that the humidity and temperature equalize. I was surprised how much the weight changes with humidity.

I store my balls in a humidor. It is set at about 98* and 100% humidity.

You mean, until you take them out to rub them up?

Since I left New Jersey I no longer have easy access to the needed mud.

Your balls must be awfully wet.

I remember when the Red Sox played the Rockies they made a big deal about the balls being stored in a special humidor.

Better check for mold vs plume.

Hi Thomas! Hope all is well and nope i just thought it was cool they put them in the humidor, as I seem to recall we were pretty good in that set, nothing to complain about there

Not with Rask in goal. <-- Complaint, b!tching, whining, whatever floats your boat.

All is hanging in there, Brother Other Adam. Hope Florida is treating you at least as well as NC is for me.

That's not whining at all, it's a legitimate point. No need to attempt to school me on anything hockey.

The Poet · 06-04-2019, 10:45 AM

Disagree, dude. He may be right, he may be wrong. I don't know, and really do not care. Regardless, it is whining as it is unlikely he would have commented without the prior "bad" calls made earlier that were noted in the article.

Hey, I am old school. Lace 'em up, play the game, and keep your mouth shut.
