Company Claims Baseballs Were Juiced During 1998 Season
Universal Medical Systems Inc., a company that uses computer imaging, “claims baseballs had a larger rubberized core and a synthetic rubber ring in 1998, including the ball Mark McGwire hit for his 70th homer,” according to the AP. But MLB President & COO Bob DuPuy said that the core of the ball has been “unchanged for decades.” DuPuy: “All of our balls are subject to rigorous quality control standards and testing conducted by Rawlings. No changes have been made to the core of the ball through the entire time they have manufactured it” (AP, 1/4).
