Different pitches get called differently by AL umps than NL umps. Liberal or conservative experiences comes into play there.<br /><br />Then you have to figure who is at bat (big, rich and powerful v. small, broke and weak or victim). I think even in the World Series, certain batters get 'their' strike zones and other batters have to deal with what comes their way.<br /><br />For a simple game, there is a lot of gray area in baseball. Guess that is why you can't get the human element out of the game.<br /><br />Same thing with justice. Biases and believes still factor into decisions. Hope is the universal constant of humanity, because at some point it is out of our hands and we all have to turn to hope for what we feel is 'justice'.Big Mark 243https://www.blogger.com/profile/10974573439218884164noreply@blogger.com
