> someone supply a tape showing a guy wrapped up in tape like the student in the video, hitting a pitched baseball with reasonable consistancy in a batting cage with the speed at say minimum 70 mph and I will bow out!

> No reason to bow out. Pete Rose was as fine a contact hitter as anyone over the last 40 years. I have a great clip of Rose with the camera view from over his head. I was amazed after viewing the clip just how rotational his method was. I would have guessed this astroturf all time hit leader would have used the linear methods of the era.

That was Rahkling 7 talking about bowing out, not me. You know, I think I've seen that clip, but I had forgotten it. Great clip. Can you make it available? I may have it somewhere, but it's been a long time.
