The dead-ball era of baseball occurred between 1900 and 1919. Baseball historians refer to the period as the dead-ball era due to a decrease in scoring and lack of home runs. In the 1920 season, Ray Chapman died after getting hit in the head with a dirty baseball while batting. In response, Major League Baseball required that more baseballs be used per game. Scoring increased dramatically as a result of more baseballs being used per game, ending the dead-ball era.
Which one of the following statements, if true, most weakens the argument?
A. Baseballs soften with continued use, and it is more difficult to hit home runs with soft baseballs.
B. Hitters have a more difficult time seeing dirty baseballs, as opposed to new ones.
C. Major League Baseball outlawed the extremely effective spitball in 1920.’
D. Using more baseballs raised the operating expense for Major League Baseball teams.
E. Dirty baseballs move unnaturally and erratically, rendering them more difficult to hit.
1L here.
I’m so tired.
Enjoy it while you can. I can’t do weeknight games as a practicing lawyer.
Best of luck with law school friend, its… an experience
Beautiful place. Best of luck with everything.
Real talk, run while you can. You haven’t made any commitments other than a standardized test. Being a lawyer is actually terrible. Avoid the debt. Avoid the stress, stomach problems, anxiety, and premature gray hairs. Law school sucks, but practicing law is soul sucking.
Source: I’ve been a lawyer for 4 years and constantly wonder why I put myself through this torture.
Good luck! Don’t be afraid to retake 2, 3, or 4 times.
