If MIke says that ASA wants umpires to use that black, then that's good enough for me, even though I had not called the black up 'till now.
But if a field is installed correctly, then the origin of fair territory is at the point where the two white sides converge, correct? So if the black is not used to define fair territory, then shouldn't it follow the same line of reasoning that the black should not be used to define the strike zone? That is, how can the boundaries of home plate be defined differently for separate applications?
