    your old publisher is an idiot. did he also tell you to mention that they threw overhand from 60-6 just to make sure the readers weren't confused, too?

    I'm shocked - shocked, I say! - that, until now, this has gone unacknowledged. Well done. :)

    Didn't think about it like that until I read this post. Well-played.

    It's absolutely right. Can't argue the premise one bit.

    Also never gave it a thought in 50-plus years until it was stated right there.

    It's one of my biggest journalistic pet peeves, I guess because it's my favorite sport.

    Saw it in SI a couple of weeks ago. Nearly ripped off an email to them, but got lazy.
