[from an interview of Ned Hanlon] It has been said that players stood at the plate last season and allowed two and even three strikes to be called on them before attempting to hit the ball. Admitting that to be true, the batsman has his motive for doing so. The pitcher is allowed to deliver the ball over the plate at any height between the shoulder and knee. Now the batsman may have his mind on either a high or low ball. Suppose it is a low ball and two or three high ones have been pitched, the next one may be a low one, and then he will be well rewarded for waiting.
