National League Moves to Permit Rosin Use by Pitchers
The National League at its annual meeting endorsed allowing resin use by pitchers to improve play and reduce ball consumption. President Heydler cited a league total of 3,847 dozen balls used last season, up 245 dozen from the prior year, and asked for resin under umpire supervision as a means to shorten games and curb wasted balls. The group also discussed rain pauses and holiday scheduling, with tributes to Christy Mathewson and other figures in baseball.
