Not all do, but I'm sure at the time when introduced it seemed logical to include all numbers involved in a count and those are. Of course, back then there wasn't such an economical move to minimize everything.

anybody ever wonder why car speedometers go to 100 or 120 mph... but the highest posted limit is 70mph (around here anyways)

I will answer my own question... NO.

I use 3-2-2 indicators (with the wheels in the order of the count, too... ball, strike).

I use them just to keep other umpires from borrowing my spare! :D

I have a policy with partners who forget their stuff. Leave a deposit for the cost of the item being borrowed. That way, if it doesn't come back, I really don't care!

I have one of those as a spare. By accident I grabbed it the other day. Boy was I screwed up the whole game. Send me your address and I will mail it to you :)

There's no speed limit on the highway. Only a recommended speedlimit (at 140km/h). :D

But...
don't get involved in an accident. If you coused the incident with a higher speed than 140km/h, you will be fined aswell for speeding AND for in-dangering other trafic... ... ...
