Nope, not true. Only 1/4 of it is within the measured square, 3/4 are outside. ;o)
And by my math, the distance from the closest point of home plate to the nearest edge of the bag would be 67' 3", not 9". But I'm taking that from the nearest point, which means that there's 18 inches of plate from one side to the point.
*shrug* Semantics and Mathematics. Who cares. Let's just play ball and argue over whether there's 3 inches or 9 inches of "no goal" to be called when the puck is still touching the goal line. ;o)
