hello teach!

dr meg urry is the chairman of the astrophysics dept at yale u. she made a profound statement in the may 27 cover story in PARADE magazine... i'm paraphrasing below:
"scientists do not construct a theory in a vacuum, rather they must observe the events of nature & construct a theory in conjunction with their observations.. only then will the theory hold up under the scrutiny of others.. to do otherwise is to refute what it is you observe.. eventually you must come to grips with what you observe in nature & let those observations govern your theory.. it is what it is,
& eventually you have no other choice but to admit what it is you observe.."
this affected me so greatly, i have used this mindset in putting together my hitting theory.. it has served me VERY VERY well.. accordingly:
if you observe that most all long distance HR are struck by the hitter out in front of the plate, then you must embrace the theory that in order to hit the ball hardest & farthest, YOU MUST GET THE BAT TO THE BALL WHILE IT IS OUT IN FRONT OF THE PLATE!!! hello?
according to that LOGIC, you will not see many pitches that travel all the way to even with the plate being driven out of the park..
teach, you gotta get with the program... the observations do not support your theory... sorry.
