> Dear Jack Mankin,
> Thank you for providing us all with information that will result in home runs, rather than preach determinism (e.g., Phil Rizzuto, The Louisville Slugger Ultimate Book of hitting)--the determinism that allows only people who are are only 6'7 to hit homers. I think a 5'9 217 lbs Ivan Rodriquez or a Hack Wilson could hit farther than those string beans. I do not agree with everything you say, but keep preaching the rotational method, and allow others to know that a small guy hitting 425-feet is not an obsolete possibility.
