As for the pace of the game, one simple rule change would speed games up a LOT. Call the strike zone as it is written in the rules! If the umps started calling knees to midway between the chest and waist then games would speed up. You wouldn't have to do anything else IMO.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I'm pretty sure that since Hargrove retired when Trachsel was in high school, Hargrove had the nickname first...but hey,I could be wrong.
