Sammy the 40' pitch distance does not belittle the players or the game any more than the 60' bases or the 200' fence, ?it is simply the rules of the game. ? The 43' difference is not going to make a huge difference in the play of the game or in the players self esteem. ? By your logic then we should move the base back to 90' and why stop at 43' feet lets really prove how macho the chicks are and move the pitcher back to center field. ? Maybe girls should be insulted and quit playing basketball until they get to use the same size ball that the men use. ? The pitcher will be at 43' across the board eventually. ? The entire reason is the same reason for the change in college, ? too many people think the game is boring and want more offense. ? Maybe that is why it was dropped from the olympics and from the number of people who seem to make that point, ?even among those who know the game, ? the olympic committee was probably justified. ?
