Many Of The Table Top Experiments Which Provided The Observational Facts Which Formed The Basis For Adair's Conclusions About The Physics Of Baseball Were Performed By His Longtime Technical Laboratory Expert Within The Brookhaven National Laboratory Physics Department, Richard Larsen, Who Also Contributed Significantly To Much Of Adair's Yale-Led Experimental Programme At The Bnl Ags. Another Publication From Adair Is The Great Design: Particles, Fields And Creation.
