Brian, 30 years from now when you are my age, and have absorbed as many injuries from the baseball as I have, you may have a different appreciation for keeping your forearms out of the way.

tim covered it, but i dont disagree with what you are saying. i dont use that stance, but im not opposed to it. i am opposed to having your arms completely behind your back. we're on the same page
