Dear Jack Mankin,
Thank you for providing us all with information that will result in home runs, rather than preach determinism (e.g., Phil Rizzuto, The Louisville Slugger Ultimate Book of hitting)--the determinism that allows only people who are are only 6'7 to hit homers. I think a 5'9 217 lbs Ivan Rodriquez or a Hack Wilson could hit farther than those string beans. I do not agree with everything you say, but keep preaching the rotational method, and allow others to know that a small guy hitting 425-feet is not an obsolete possibility.

Sincerely,
The Black Hole Lexicographer
