The Importance of Throwing Harder

In 2006 the Colorado Rockies experimented with new ways to improve their team performance one such trial as reported by the AP in June 2006 was downloading game film to their players video iPods allowing them to watch whenever and wherever. David Lewis who is an architectural historian and baseball researcher based in Boston shares his thoughts on how well this worked out for the Rockies that year. In 2007 perhaps they couldn't have done it without their iPods but back in 2006 at least 14 Rockies players were using the video iPods for game footage although according to the AP the players themselves not the ball club had to front the $399 cost of the device.
