"We all know how hard baseball myths are to kill."

You are defending a myth. One created for entertainment value because there is little scientific basis in your pseudo-scientific research as it aplies to our ATMOSPHERE^. Now come down from those clouds (gravity and SPIN) and take a deep breath of fresh AIR. Did you reach terminal velocity (120 mph or HIGHER) and feel a strong wind?

You have no WIND in your argument. You have no wind resistance. Then you have no HOOK, LINER, SINKER or RISER. All you have is gravity and SPIN. You incorrectly allow gravity and SPIN to supply the PRIMARY forces on a baseball. I have said, all along, that these are only SECONDARY forces.

The primary force must be supplied by the PITCHER. You fail to recognize a very strong HPG in the AIR passing around a 100 mph baseball. You fail to recognize qualities about the air you breath, both horizontally (humid sea-level) and vertically. You fail to recognize WIND, WIND resistance, and LIFT.

But you continue to defend the myth.
