Despite
tips from batting coach Chris Chambliss and underhand pitches from Bernie Williams, Seles failed to hit the ball past the pitcher.
Not exact matches
Gomez must have taken
tips on how to break a
bat from Bryce Harper and not Matt Kemp.
Sirs: I found the issue that included
batting tips from Roy Sievers (SI, March 31) in my locker.
A study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences describes the previously undiscovered technology employed by the
bat Glossophaga soricina: a tongue
tip that uses blood flow to erect scores of little hair - like structures exactly at the right time to slurp up extra nectar
from within a flower.
Striking the
bat five to six inches
from the
tip, an area known as the sweet spot, generated virtually no vibration.
Unfortunately, no breakthroughs are
tipped to take place off the
bat, with many companies working on cord - free charging
from a distance, but actual commercial innovations still a little ways down the road.
