Wait! I'm confused! Does this mean that the myth of the rising fastball has been disproved?



Oh I just love stirring the pot!

The fastballs are high.
The curve balls are low.
Gravity and spin solves it for good!

I decided to venture over to the bktball board.
"While I have you attention" caught my attention.
While I have your attention
Hope you don't mind me tagging it to this thread.
Warning: You'll never get the time back. Enjoy!
