"Any
baseball is beautiful. No other small package comes as close to
the ideal in design and utility. It is a perfect object for a
mans hand.
'Pick
it up and it instantly suggests its purpose: it is meant to be
thrown a considerable distance, thrown hard and with
precision.
"Its
feel and heft are the beginning of the sports critical
dimensions; if it were a fraction of an inch larger or smaller,
a few centigrams heavier or lighter, the game of baseball would
be utterly different."
- Roger Angell
In 2006, the teams that finished in 5th-12th
place in 2005 will receive a budget of up to .06 to use toward reacquiring
players who had played out their option with the team (B-contract players). The
exact amount each team receives will be based on how far behind the 5th
place team they are at the end of the year, in terms of a percentage of the 5th
place team's point total.
