Lively baseballs shortage sparks mixed baseball league worries
A circulated report says the supply of lively baseballs is nearly exhausted after a winter stock built for the season. Big leagues may revert to older balls as pitchers struggle with new bats and rules. Critics claim the lively ball inflates home runs and hurts defense, while second division clubs hope for improved chances with a deader ball. Public sentiment favors closer scores and tougher defense, though major markets still back current play.
