    Please.

    If this is the prevailing standard, I'm dying to know how your paper refers to the pitcher's rubber.

    In the rule book, it's called the pitcher's plate.

    He toes the rubber ... go for it, folks.

    A friend of mine in high school heard about Merkle's Boner. He asked me why the guy got an erection during the game.

    Swear. To. God.

    So, by toeing the rubber, you can fist a batter with the high hard one?
