Boston Sox: Fun Stuff: Physics of Baseball: "Here's something to think about as a pitcher. The batter exerts some 6000-8000 pounds of force on the ball. This force is required to change a 5 1/8th ounce ball from a speed of 90 mph to a speed of 110 mph, this distorts the baseball to half its original diameter and the bat is compressed one fiftieth of it's size."  11:01:49 PM     Add a comment   

Well. I though I was going to escape hay fever season, but no such luck. My eye is leaking as much as my furnace, and I can't stop sneezing.  10:31:25 PM     Add a comment
