[from an interview of Bid McPhee] In old days, when batsmen had a choice of a high or low ball, it was far easier to tell the way he would hit. Of course, he would call for the ball he could bat the hardest, and such hits most always go in one direction. Now, however, anything within the shoulder and the knee goes; he does not know where it is going, and a baseman or fielder is all at sea in trying to size them up.
