I know first hand how hard and fast a baseball can come at you, and I
was on the field a couple of times during a cricket match.  I
witnessed the speed and strength of both s****ts.  My humble opinion,
is just that, my opinion.  On researching it, one source says one
thing another source says another.  Who do you believe?  I tired of
it
easy and lost interest, so to each his own.  For me it's not worth
debating over.
