"Polymers in the Field"

I found the article, "Polymers in the Field" very interesting because I did not know that those annoying little black pieces in the turf are actually bits of ground up tires! I agree that artificial turf is a good idea especially because of water drainage, but I would much rather play baseball on natural grass. This is because I am not a fan of the turf burns and in baseball a ground ball will slow down a lot quicker and be much easier to play on grass rather than turf. I do like how the turf is easier on the body and leads to less injuries (it also allows the athletes to run faster, jump higher and perform better as well) so I think, especially in football, it has bettered the sports world. One new thing that I learned from the article is the process of vulcinization. I hadn't heard of that before and it is definitely interesting and applicable to the class!

Roy,

Looks good! 5 stars. MW
