Re: OS\'s prolific coverage of ASB begins
Way off topic...
While looking to see what happened to FatPitcher, I started at page 14 of that ESPN thread, only to see the strike zone being a main focus, with people who obviously have never umpired a real game (FatPitcher being one) trying to explain how the strike zone is a 3D space, etc, etc, since that's what the book says.
No wonder it takes so many tries to get that game's strike zone down to something somewhat in touch with reality.
As someone who has umpired 120+ games per year, I just wanted to tell the ASB guys, "Thanks" for their perfectly done zone. It keeps my blood pressure down to its minimum.
Now back to more talk about OS taking up this offer of more ASB coverage.
