Wow! I didn't realize I'd been communicating online for almost two years with such a distinguished group of old b@stards!

Michael,

There are only 10 kinds of people: those that understand binary, & those that don't.

Yeah, this here XP with the dual Intel Processor is a far cry from that old 8088 with the 4 disk drives, the screaming 256kb of RAM and the green phosphorous tube display! Back then, the new kid on the block was the Disk Operating System -- can you say DOS 1.0?

Regards

- if the ball is touched over foul territory or comes to rest on foul territory it is a foul ball.

BTW, this is not a foul tip. A foul tip is a ball that is touched by the bat and goes directly to the backcatchers hand or glove and is caught.

BigUmp got in there just ahead of me!
"backcatchers"

Where does the "front catcher" play?

You're all youngsters. I turned 75 in April. I saw my first game at Wrigley Field (Chicago) the year BEFORE there were bleachers or ivy on the outfield wall.

75???? I worked with a partner a few years ago who was 85.

Anyone remember the Timex-Sinclar "Computer"? Plugged into your TV and you used a cassette recorder to save your data. Programmed in BASIC. And yes, I know what DOS is....uno, DOS, tres....
