In the days before free agency led to a huge increase in player salaries, stars often worked in the off-season at odd jobs. I remember Richie Hebner working as a grave digger. Paul DeJong has a more interesting job:
The last World Series was one for the record books with more home runs hit than ever before – and some believe it is because of the heat.
As CBS2’s Steve Overmyer reported Thursday, that hypothesis was the focus of an experiment by a world-renowned scientist and a special lab partner.
In a chemistry lab at Long Island University Post, an alliance between sports and science has been born. Dr. Lawrence Rocks is the world-renowned scientist, while Paul DeJong is a shortstop with the St. Louis Cardinals who has a degree in biochemistry.
Their experiment showed that hotter isn’t always better.
