zone din
"Alderson presented charts and actual game footage to make his point. Nobody was surprised by his assertion that the top of the strike zone was being called about waist high. The rulebook calls for the top of the zone to be at the letters. This would raise the zone by at least 10 inches, and everyone knew that a change of that magnitude was outrageous. So, the mandate was to call it roughly halfway between the waist and the letters, or from another perspective, just above the belly button. As a former pitcher, this sounded reasonable to me."

"According to a shock claim by Larry Flynt and Hustler magazine, trumpeted on the Raw Story site, Bolton was a paid visitor to Plato’s Retreat, which in the seventies brought together many people of differing viewpoints, penis and bra-cup sizes, much as the United Nations has done since its founding. Perhaps Bolton went (if he indeed went—we must preserve the benefit of doubt) for the excellent buffet, of which the owners of Plato’s Retreat always expressed pride. I understand the conversations in the buffet line could get quite racy. ("Hey, this salad dressing tastes funny...") Or perhaps it was the aromatic atmosphere he couldn’t resist as he padded around in a white towel and flipflops. According to one former enthusiast, "One of the things I'll never never never forget -I think it was Plato's Retreat - it was walking in and having a waft of red energy, but it had no thorns in it, everyone was there consenting to be there. Everyone was there for the same purpose. It was so hot and so heavy.""
