(no subject)
Here's the thing. The pitch I "struck out" on to end the game on Monday? That was not a strike. It was outside and low. The only way I'd be able to hit that sucker is if I was holding a golf club.
I looked up strike zone in the Dictionary and this is what it had to say:
strike zone
n. Baseball.
The area over home plate through which a pitch must pass to be called a strike, roughly between the batter's armpits and knees.
That ball was between neither of those places, therefore it was not a strike. I have a good mind to mail a copy of this definition to every umpire in the MLB. That Merriam Webster chick sure knows her stuff.
