tmp44,

While I agree with the "gist" of your comments, the space over the "black of the plate" is NOT technically (i.e. by rule) part of the strike zone.

If you read the rule regarding the dimensions of home plate you will find that it is, by rule, 17" wide at its widest part (i.e. the side facing the pitcher). If you take a tape measure to any (or several) of your favorite ballfields, you will find that "the black" is outside of that 17".
