College Pitcher To Join Moran's Reds

Weather Said to Boost Home Runs, Manager States
George Stallings, manager of the Boston Graves, blames warm weather for a spike in home runs across the majors. He argues that warmer early season conditions soften pitching and harden outfields, making balls harder to judge. He notes the trend seems seasonal, though recent years lacked such consistency, and mentions Babe Ruth’s limited action may influence this year’s power surge.
