Nowhere in my discussion do I suggest or advocate any pitcher throwing at a batter's head. As a matter of fact intentionally pitching at the batter is illegal in NCAA, FED, and Pro. I am not attempting to argue or suggest that it is legal or should be tolerated.

Pete, when you questioned how to judge intent, I gave some ideas on that subject. Although throwing at a batter is illegal, it does happen. I merly suggest that it is often intentional and the official needs to know when to expect it and how to recognize it.
