Uniform Ball Adopted and Night Games Approved in MLB Meet
In a midwinter owners meeting, American League trades Ben Chapman to Cleveland for Dennis Galehouse and Tommy Irwin, amid talk of a uniform ball and night games in the near future. The exchange aims to strengthen Boston pitching and Cleveland’s outfield, with Chapman hitting .340 last season. The discussion also covers a rule change allowing one back foot on the rubber for pitchers and extending the infield fly rule to some outfield flies, as clubs push toward parity with the Yankees.
