The biggest debate of spring training went down Wednesday morning in the Texas Rangers' clubhouse.
Are tennis balls yellow or green?
The overwhelming majority of those polled, and there were a lot of them on a slow day, said yellow. Michael Young, though, was in the green camp, foolishly, but yellow-camper Jake Diekman provided evidence — an actual Penn tennis ball — that had Young leaning the right way.
Third baseman Adrian Beltre, behind his usual coy self, responded with, "You tell me." But even he quickly provided the correct answer of yellow.
Manager Jeff Banister was in the same camp, but infielder Trevor Plouffe quickly voted green.
