It must be my 'Mendoza-line' eyes, but I'm not seeing the error. Could someone please point out what is so obvious to others?
Thanks, Mr. MaGoo

Hitting MLB pitching
At the H & B Louisville Slugger Bat Museum there is a batting cage exhibit where you can choose to have the pitching machine simulate the fast ball of various present or former pitchers, including Ryan and Clemons. After standing there and watching a simulated fast ball from those two pitchers I can say every MLB hitter of whatever skill level has a lot more courage than I do.

What they used to say about Dalkowski was that 'it's a good thing he's wild vertically, else there'd be dead folks where ever he pitched.'
When I was young and moderately fast (85ish) I would always worry about hitting someone, which I wound up doing only once, but I broke both of his hands. I'm glad no one every asked me to 'head-hunt' or purpose. Even if you don't have to worry about having your life on the line, most folks who know say that hitting a Major League pitch is the most difficult thing to do in any sport. I always thought it was being able to concentrate through all of Maria Sharapova's moans. ? ?
