The Red Sox, The Yankees, and the Physics of Baseball

The Boston Red Sox meet the New York Yankees for the first time this season tonight at Fenway Park. We talk with Cecilia Tan who's written books about both the Yankees and the Red Sox about the the state of the rivalry in May of 2006.

And, we talk with psychologist Kenneth Fuld who's connected human sensory perception to the physics of hitting and catching a baseball. He says that a lot of coaches get it wrong when they tell their players how to hit and catch. Dr. Fuld is chair of the Psychology Department a the University of New Hampshire.
