Night ball blamed for shrinking big league careers
Night ball appears to be shortening major league careers, says Charley Segar head of the NL service bureau. Only 21 of 300 NL players have 10 years in the big leagues, with many coming and going in six to seven years. Segar suggests a test comparing night ball exposed players to college entrants to measure lasting power. The group includes 7 pitchers and Dixie Walker, 16-year veteran, with uncertainty about future numbers.
