This is interesting stuff, Dave. Alderson was quoted as saying that one of the reasons to call a "book" zone was that it would shorten the game.
Was the high scoring from hits, or walks or a combination?
I always shared the common belief that it wasn't hits that lengthened the game, it was walks. Maybe that will be added to the myths list.
Three and a half balls above the belt would be approximately 10.33 inches. (Diameter being roughly 2.95")
On me (5'10"0) that is an inch below my nipple and almost exactly half the distance to the top of my shoulders.
