like this” he said “It's the World Series I don’t care what the weather is going to be like It's not going to be a factor from my standpoint You’ve got to deal with it If you let it affect you you’re crazy” No doubt it won't bother the Jacobs Field crowd too much Remember some of these fans are the same ones who stood in the Dawg Pound when the old Browns played in December “Probably the major effect is the grip the pitcher will have on the ball Cold weather tends to bare-cheste- d dry out your hands and fingers a lot more than warm weather will obviously” Hargrove said “Hitting a baseball
