That play isn't simultaneous with the pitch. It doesn't require concentrating on two different things at the same time. One simply continues to follow the ball. I would have thought you knew that.

Or did you take your shooting lessons from Dick Cheney?

No, it's not. And, yes, I knew that it wasn't.

Perhaps my keen hunting eye allows me the ability to track the ball better than most and to see things that other mere mortals cannot.

It's not "4-10," it's ".410." 4-10 is the dyslexic version of the answer you give Dick Cheney when he asks you if you're all right after he just sprayed you. "10-4 good buddy."
