If any of this is the case, does it justify the call today? Does the newlywed have to waste 4" of roast just because grandma did?
Just asking.

Do you really think that you are going to convince anyone to start calling pitches in the dirt strikes? I'm not going to do it no matter how many pot roast stories you come up with.
Speaking of pot roasts, if my grandma said cut 4" off the roast then start cutting. She was the best cook I've ever known. Hey wait, maybe these pot roast cutting umpires, I mean the cowards that won't call pitches in the dirt strikes, might be the best umpires you've ever seen...watch them and learn
