I presume you watched the video, correct? Did you catch the part toward the end where the camera could not compensate for the intense white of the pitcher's hat when it focused on him? Freeze the video right before Byrd takes it in the left eye. His eye, the ball and the white hat are all in a line. Nah, couldn't have possibly had a thing to do with it. Not the slightest chance.

If you could hit you'd know the ball doesn't come out of the pitcher's uniform or head.

As usual, not sure what Angel was doing here either.

And don't forget.. your hand is part of the bat.
