My father’s use of e-mail is restricted to forwarding different jokes, and other junk onto his family and friends. Apparently some retired people have nothing better to do (sorry, dad). I read about 5-10% of what he sends me (sorry again, dad.) But this time he sent me something good.
The Science of Baseball is a cool and interactive site dedicated to America’s National Pastime. The specific link my dad sent was Can you Hit a 90-MPH Fastball? It explains just how hard it is to hit the easy pitch in baseball. Also included are tutorials on breaking balls, a time machine to move players (like Babe Ruth) into different eras, and too much other good stuff to mention. Check it out.
