BHL...i won't bother rehashing the issue because in the past you have not responded to my questions and challenges...however, i will question your logic...didn't you say you are working on a PhD in English Literature?...it would seem that you would recognize your own fallacy....you said he pulled A low outside pitch...so it follows that if A newcomer pulls ONE outside pitch that therefore this will work for ALL hitters?...years ago a major league hitter hit a homerun despite is bat breaking...does it follow that hitters should try breaking their bat?...and does this logic contradict yours, that if sosa hits 30 homeruns for the season the opposite way and if ALL were outside pitches, then therefore ALL hitters should hit outside pitches the opposite way?
