Comments:
In the early 1990s, Professor Lagace, a long-time Boston Red Sox fan, supervised an Experimental Lab project in the Department’s Wind Tunnel to prove to Red Sox management that when the 600 Club edifice was built behind home plate in 1988-89, it affected the flight of balls hit, leading to a reduction in home runs. (The Club has since been redesigned and renamed the ".406 Club.")
