Hey Mink, I don't doubt what you saw but you would have to
agree that's its kind of odd that big strong guys like Goiko and
Lopez cant even come close to the 188 mph mark. I know the speed
measurement devices of 20-30 years ago were not as sophisticated
as todays so maybe that has something to do with it.
Also, when you say you saw someone throw a homerun are you talking
wall to wall to wall with a bounce or without a bounce, because
that one bounce makes all the difference.
BTW-When we were trying to find a replacement plasticball some
samples were sent by a plastics manufacturer and one of the was
a super live ball. Just out of curiosity I took it on the hardball
court and I was able to throw a homerun without a bounce but only
because of the insane liveliness of the ball.
