What's on the gun during live game play is all that matters. Not revisionist time studies. Maybe that sucks for Nolan, but dems da breaks.

Nolan always said the key to his success was his lower trunk being so sturdy.

Speed's pretty but what counts most is control. Look at Ryan and Koufax. Early on, with control issues they were marginal W/L which is the only measure of a pitcher's effectiveness. Cut out the walks.

It is interesting that today's pitchers are often viewed by the chronologically gifted fan as "weak", being limited to maybe 100-120 pitches on a good day. While not arguing that too many pitches may destroy an arm, K and those guys were going complete games at or below 100. Too many wasted pitches, some of which may be the responsibility of the Man in Blue.

I don't know about his reading the logo, but I did read that he claimed to see the ball make contact with his bat. No doubt he had excellent eye sight; he was a pilot in WWII, but seeing the moment of bat and ball contact seems crazy to me. That 92 mph fastball is traveling at about 135 fps. It takes well under one second for the ball to leave the pitcher's arm and reach the plate. The batter has maybe one-half second to decide to swing or not swing at the pitch. Seeing the ball make contact with the bat - damn, that's quick.

I have read some articles on the physics of hitting a baseball. It is physically impossible for the eyeball to move fast enough to follow the ball from hand to bat. At least at major league speeds. What they suspect happens is that the eye "jumps" rather than smoothly following the ball. So, Ted saw it coming and then moved the eye to where bat would meet ball. Regardless, he could put the round bat on the round ball square.

think about it this way tho, plenty of outfielders throw that fast and faster throwing from the corners to home plate... Ichiro would be a very good example of that...

hes just not accurate with pitches to be a pitcher....

85 isnt that fast... ive been to batting cages that had faster...
