It’s hard enough to hit a home run at Wrigley Field when the wind is blowing in. It can be even harder to do it when the wind is blowing out.
In case that sounds antithetical to the laws of physics, rest assured: It is. But temptations of the mind are another matter. On those days when Waveland and/or Sheffield beckons, it can be mighty difficult for batters to avoid violating an age-old baseball maxim: Don’t go up there looking for a homer.
