My strike zone hasn't changed in 16 years (unless it was mat ball). Period. I have more integrity than that.

P.S. We have put it to bed in our Board, it is a out.

I don't know who your board is, but it does not appear to be the consensus of ASA (yet). The current mandates are "get it right" and "call it by the book." If what you call is not in the book, then you're calling it wrong.
