Re: Car Nack Predicts 3/06
Just out of curiosity, couldn't FIRST ask an organization like the USTA or MLB to donate some ball-speed measuring devices? Think about it, in almost every tennis or baseball event you see on tv (and probably a few other sports as well, I just can't think of them offhand) they give the speed that the ball was served or pitched at. If those guns can record speeds up to 150+ mph, they certainly must be able to handle 26.8 mph, right?

And it is a bit of an off-season for both sports, so...
