Andrea Kendrick, perhaps the best high school softball player Arkansas had ever produced, decided to play college for the University of Alabama. As Rock researched a story for the newspaper, he found that she made her choice based on the availability for Alabama's softball program of a certain kind of whale blubber which made it easier for pitchers to get action on their pitches.
Kendrick explained to Rock that it was perfectly legal for softball pitchers to apply blubber to softballs, but that most programs couldn't afford it.
