TM> The Braves didn't get Grissom for nothing; they traded for him.
I know, they got Roberto Kelly (who they traded to the dodgers for Henry 
Rodriguez soon to be former Expo), and Tony Tarasco ( who they trade to the 
Orioles' for Sherman Obando) still they got him for praticly nothing, they 
traded Grissom and Justice for Lofton, a much better player than Tarasco and 
Kelly.

It is a commonly know fact (at least to umps) that you look at the strike 
zone as define in the rule book, and you call strike as you see them as 
defined, it becomes YOUR strike zone, every ump takes pride in HIS strike 
zone including myself. It is a judgement call, I doubt he was enlarging on 
purpose in anyway.
