First of all, I have been looking over catchers shoulders for over 16 yrs and havent seen a strike zone yet. So I question how everyone else knows exactly where it is except us umpires.

"Why do so many ump's enlarge the strike zone?"

This can be broken down into two questions:

1.Why? This has been asked by mankind since the begining of time. Great statesmen and scholars have debated this for years. Scientists, inventors, doctors, lawyers, engineers, presidents and great religious priests and ministers have come and gone, and still not found an answer to this question. And any more will pass over great baseball diamond we live on and still, not find this answer.

2. Do so many ump's enlarge the strike zone?"
YOU BET WE DO.
