I gave it to a baseball fan to see what he would say. I included this information so you would know I didn't give to a guy on the street corner who has never seen a game and would not know anything about what he saw. It was relevant information. I wanted an unbiased opinion, but from someone who would have one, and not someone who didn't know what they were looking at.
