  21. "As to your question as to whether it was a ball or a strike, I don't agree that those are mutually exclusive. I believe that we can honor both teams in our determination. Both have equal merit, as the pitch was at the very edge of the strike zone. I certainly would not discount the hardworking people in the field and the pitcher who have striven so hard to produce what they believe to be a strike, nor would I not listen to those in the dugout and the batter, who has made his determination that the ball ever so slightly outside of his strike zone."
