1. DiPoto Cabengo Posted: December 06, 2011 at 05:46 PM (#4008205)I distinctly remember making some stupid remark about how Mars would need one hell of a humidor or somesuch.
I don't know I submitted this several days ago, but I don't remember a thread on this. Doesn't mean it didn't happen though. I just liked the Lidge joke(which may not be that funny to some...or funny at all)
Would you have to move the mound farther back? if you did would it become even easier to pick the spin up on the ball, and of course it's likely the ball doesn't move that much anyway? I would think you would have to design and use a completly different ball to compensate for the atmosphere, a humidor isn't going to be enough.
And yes, I already checked to see if he's dead.
I wouldn't think so -- the ball's mass hasn't changed, after all.
On the other hand, the pitches wouldn't tail downward nearly as much. Good luck trying to throw a sinker. And so on.
I know in a conversation about science fiction talk, that reality shouldn't interfer with the fantastical, but what in reality exists that could mimic gravity plates?
Large magnets, with certain amounts of ferrous metal embedded in each player's clothing and the ball.
