Trivia Time
I know why a Strike is called a Strike (because the batter "strikes at the ball") or at least should strike at the ball but why is a pitch which is not in the strike zone and is not struck at by the batter called a Ball ?

It was shortened to "ball" from "unfair pitched ball" to indicate a pitch that was not considered a fair pitched ball, which if were not struck at were called strikes. This happened in 1863.
