Usually quotation marks are used to indicate a direct quote and since you're referring to my post i have to assume you're trying to attribute that quote to me. I'd appreciate it if you corrected your mistake.
Not only did you purposely misquote but you also, purposely or not, misunderstood the the reference to umpires in my my post.
I can appreciate you and your coaches perspective on this issue, I was only giving the perspective of proven and respected players like Tom Seaver, Fergie Jenkins, Ray Lankford and others.
If I was going to get a perspective on golf, I'd be better advised listening to Tiger Woods than my high school health teacher/golf coach.
PS
The organist for the White Sox received a world series ring. Maybe she can give us a definitive answer to the question.
