    Albino pitchers like Jenks have better control in hot weather compared to dark one's?
    I was going to ask if this was a racist statement in the header but I didn't have the room.Hell,down through the last few years how many people in baseball stirred things up by saying things like Caribbean players can stand the heat better and perform better in hot temperature games.There is probably some truth to it depending on the position you play.It's a double edged sword where certain races of dark skinned people are genetically inclined to not lose as much stamina and get fatigued as much in hot weather.Dark skin absorbs heat,white skin deflects heat so that's where it has a negative factor in sweating if you are darker and a pitcher.

    In the last few days I had parlays where they were teetering on the brink of winning at the end of games and that's when a person really gets into the intensity of every little nuance of the game.You actually take on the roll of the pitcher in your mind.So that being the case,you see how darker pitchers get more lathered up and get sweat in their eyes stinging with salt and such resulting in more errant pitches.Then you get a lard ass like albino Bobby Jenks and he doesn't seem as lathered up.Anyone notice this or is it just my imagination?You would think Rosin bags would take care of part of the problem but they don't seem to.Ya,Wood for Cleveland went wild and lost the game but that withstanding,I think my theory may still have validity?
