Slow Down

Several, not many, years ago I had a "fun bet" with colleagues/friends that I could still throw a baseball over 80mph. Part of the fun was the method to determine how fast I could throw. We devised setting up a pitching mound along side of a road, and having a car drive by to approximate the speed of the pitch. JUGS brand radar guns at that time were still $1,000+

Last night Zdono Chara won the NHL hardest shot competition with a 105.4mph slap shot. We now have a radar gun so it was MacDaddy's turn to try for triple digits. He fell a little short at 29mph but a great place to start!!! Fortunately for me, all those who care if I can throw over 80mph live in Texas.
