If that's the case, colleges in the north could play for the 10 days when they go south for spring break......and then hang it up for the season.
By the time it warms up, the season is over.

Here's something I found from DeMarini's website:
Q: How does cold weather affect bats?
A: Cold weather affects the ball, not the bat. A ball's core becomes harder in cold weather, causing the ball to dent the bat. Some players think that keeping the bat warm before hitting will prevent denting, but what they actually want to do is keep the ball above 60° F. High-compression balls may also shorten the life of your bat, as well as team usage situations.
How difficult would it be to convince the opposing team to keep the balls warm and toasty when pitching against our team?

Never liked playing when it was cold. Hate umpiring when it is cold. And it isn't the cold. I'm a, well was before the new knee, skier and love standing on the top of mountains in January.
I know how taboo it is to think it is a warm weather game, but that is the way I view it.
