MLB will watch Coors balls after Giants complain

[J.R.]

Major League Baseball will now oversee the use of balls used in Denver, following a complaint by the Giants. There have been whispers that the Rockies manipulate games to their advantage by subbing in baseballs not stored in the humidor (which is used to make the balls less hitter-friendly in the thin air in Denver) when they are at bat, but MLB said earlier this week that no team had complained formally or informally. That changed late Friday night.

 

"We did get a complaint from the Giants," MLB spokesman Pat Courtney said. "There's going to be a change to the protocol. From the point balls come out of the humidor to the umpires' room and into the dugout, there will be visual (inspection) at all times. ... [The Giants] said there was a concern about the proceedings, so we changed them."
