Perhaps you need to reread some posts.

Your words: "For it to be a strike (call this oversimplification) the batter has to "make an attempt" to hit the ball."

I'm not sure what you intended by the parenthetical, but the statement is exactly correct.

Sorry, I stand corrected. I must have read into the post that said,

"Give the guy a break. He puts himself out there asking a question, (supposedly this is the forum for that) to improve himself, and you have to chastise him and make fun.
If he was giving these "myths" as advice that would be a different story, but the guys asking a question. Have all lawyers lost their civility or just you?"

I took that as a personal attack against my answer (since it was the one that was quoted) and probably ??? shouldn't have. I was simply trying to answer the question with "a batter needs to attempt to hit the ball to be a strike". That was all I said.

My parenthesis calling it "oversimplified" was simply to protect myself from some of the flamers here who try to correct everything you type. They would have responded with every definition of "strike" in the book that I didn't list, calling me wrong and pointing out the various definitions that I failed to mention.

Sorry if I offended anyone. Not my intent in the least.
