Hi Jack,

Here is another reason that I encourage pulling every pitch. Consider this restaurant table interview Between Ted Williams, Don Mattingly, and Wade Boggs:

BOGGS: [...]
Ted, how many balls did you hit into the centerfield bleachers in Boston?

WILLIAMS: Not many. Damn few.

BOGGS: That's where I try to hit every ball.Dead center, above the speaker.

WILLIAMS: I hit only four home runs to left in Fenway.

BOGGS: Hey, I've finally found something I've done more often than you. Cecil Cooper says he has hit only one ball over the Wall in 15 years. George [Brett] says he's hit only four balls off the Wall in all his years. Don hit five in a weekend.

Statistically, the odds favors a player that pulls every pitch.

Best Wishes,

P.S. I believe that I am equipped now with enough knowledge and primary sources to debate any issue on pull hitting that you wish to take issue with.
