So, there’s dried baseballs when the Rockies are at bat, and humid baseballs when the visiting team is at bat, right?

Your analogy doesn’t work.

As far as Gaylord Perry and other doctors of the baseball, a closer analogy would be individual NFL players doctoring their equipment or receivers wearing super sticky substance on their hands. I consider the gloves they wear to be highly suspect, BTW.

Again, the referees should have been held accountable for not detecting the supposed “big difference” in football inflation between the two teams.

It’s not an analogy, it’s a FACT. Baseballs get doctored CONSTANTLY. It’s one of baseball’s “proud traditions”. It’s part of the foundation of the league.

The gloves have been OK’d by the league. Nothing suspect out them. The league realizes that receivers catching balls is way more exciting than receivers dropping balls so they agreed to let them have spiderman gloves.
