doesn't simply mean putting the ball
over the plate. 1t means putting it
over the very heart OF the plate and
midway between shoulders and knees.
Jim Vaughn, famous pitcher OF the
Cubs, is authority for the statement.
ITS like pitching to a knothole"
says Jim, III you want the umpire
to call 1t a strike get It six inches be
low the shoulders or six inches above
the knees and do not cut the corner.
The plate IS seventeen inches wide but
II you want TO make sure the ump
will call it a strike you've got TO pitch
into a narrower groove than. that"
The records OF the game show that
the pitchers with the long and famous
careers are the boys who grooved
'em. They used their heads and put
the ball over the heart OF the pan or
course, they've got to vary theirs de-
livery-throw a curve now and then,
and cut the corners now and them
else the batter would always know
where TO meet the ball.
