Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Wednesday, November 07, 2012
Ogden Evening Standard, November 7, 1912: A most curious alibi was sprung recently for losing a baseball series…It relates to the failure of the Minneapolis team, thrice champions of the American association, to triumph over the Denver team, winners of the Western league.
...
The pitching staff of the Millers had been complaining of the difficulty to get their curves to break properly, and had practically given it up as a bad job on account of the rare condition of the air.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
