just for the record, I NEVER mentioned 17". Never. I spoke of clearance between ball and black. Rulebook defines circumference of ball, dimension of the white part of the plate and a strike is when any part of the ball crosses the plate. That sounds like a 22" plate to me.
I'm not real sure why I was the goat on this one. Maybe I did not state myself clearly. By the end of the thread I was labeled an argumentative, hardheaded jerk.
In the future I will try to be as specific as I possibly can. Definitely don't want the gang to bury me again.
By the way, do any of you watch the TV show "House"? Extremely knowledgeable doctor with a "unique" bed side manner? Great show!!
