Yankees Hold Key in Baseball Screen Plan Says Barnard
Ernest S. Barnard, American League president, says acceptance depends on the New York Yankees. He proposes a 24 foot screen in home run zones within 325 feet of the plate and a 20 foot screen from 325 to 350 feet, affecting four AL parks. He argues it would curb cheap homers and boost old style hitting while not hurting Babe Ruth. Screens already exist in Detroit and St. Louis. Philadelphia would remove a lower tier of stands. New York and Pittsburgh see mixed reception from club owners.
