Congrats to all you Boston Red Sox fans, you guys really deserve it (and I’m putting aside 25+ rabid years of Mets fandom to say that)… OK, maybe I don’t think you needed it as much as you did three years ago, but I’m still a New Englander at heart so I’ll give a little here despite my other loyalties. Anyway, it seems a moot topic now, but the Rockies’ baseball humidor has been getting a lot of press. They must have toured all the reporters through it. It keeps game balls at a steady 70 degrees, 50 percent relative humidity, away from the dry Denver environment. It may not change the sometimes odd behavior of balls in the thin air up there, but the pitchers are getting a better grip. Officially known as the Environmental Storage Chamber, the humidor went online in 2002. It didn’t make the Rockies instantly successful, but for pitchers it’s a positive impact.
