    That is 1, not a legal pitch, and 2, not in a MLB strike zone. It is neat looking, but has zero utility.

    Remind me to never take you to a Harlem Globetrotters game.

    Did you guys notice how the stands were empty? It's not an allstar game, and the goofy commentary makes me think this was something done for some variety tv show.

    Man, you are crazy that pitch is totally legal.

    That is absolutely an MLB strike zone ~ you're freaking nuts to think differently.

    The pitch is more than 'neat looking' it has tremendous utility upside.

    debating the legality or usefulness of the pitch is pointless. the fact is you couldn't do it. bottom line. lol

    Is that the Hanshin Tiger's manager? Sure looks like him. (I stayed in Osaka for a year, and saw him on TV often.)

    Is there one guy that does the voice over work for every single Japanese TV show?

    Didn't a major league pitcher try an underhanded skyball once during a game? I thought I remember it happening (and being called a strike). Anyone?

    Is that like a blind man's way of saying they all look alike?

    I saw it a couple of months ago and was cracking up. I sent it out by e-mail and one of the replies was "it's not a strike." I looked at it again and it was not a strike. It took away the awe.
