Black, Hispanic Players Hold Up Better in Heat?
Dusty Baker may have played himself with this statement – Black, Hispanic players hold up better in heat. We’ve started a little discussion about that in a previous post, but I thought this was worthy of its own post. My view is that Dusty is generally correct about darker skinned people handling the sun better… Continue reading Black, Hispanic Players Hold Up Better in Heat?
