you ever throw a knuckleball? think about it. bending your fingers tightly over the ball with your nails into the ball is a lot harder than laying your finger palms and sides against the ball in colder weather.

I think the cold is much harder on mainstream pitchers. Grips for fastballs, splitters, etc. seem much more intense. Says the guy with three years of little league behind him.
