Same rules as always. No discussion here.
Question #4: https://www.tcdb.com/Giveaway.cfm/gid/21/Spring-Training-Is-Here---Question-#4-(2/21/21)
Randomizer Question: https://www.tcdb.com/Giveaway.cfm/gid/22/Spring-Training-Is-Here---Randomizer-Question
Just a quick note on the randomizer question - *I* was the first answer. Since no one can see it, it shows that I am not picking a number so someone else can get more chances. So when I reveal the answers around midnight Sunday night, everyone will be able to see exactly what the answer is.
I will post a reply to this after I have gone through the responses for Q3 to see who is still eligible for prizes.
I will make the prize list alphabetical by username. (FiresNBeers would be before sandyrusty who would be before Ymmat, no matter the order the answers come in. Since the names are going through a randomizer several times, it won't really matter (shouldn't matter) about the initial order, but I just wanted to put it out there as to the procedure I will use.

Thnaks Dan for another fun baseball contest. I must say that your questions were not in the usual difficult vein. And how come you did not get any stronger once you got in yoru twenties? By the way, I too pitched in that submarine style. Just could not get my arm movement much above my head when throwing for speed.

Maybe I wasn't very clear, but the 63 was at the same time as the 55 side-arm (or at least within the same year or so).
I never was very strong. And even as I tried gaining speed and figuring out how to do so, I probably never topped 70. My natural arm motion and ball speed came in VERY handy for throwing batting practice to the little leaguers for my son's teams. :) Basically, I still throw like a 12-year-old. In fact, the last year he played (which was on a 13-14 year-old team), the coach asked if I could throw a little harder to these guys. I tried, but nearly killed my elbow trying. Athletics, as much as I love them, just were never in my genes. However, it looks like they were just recessive in me as my son has been pretty good at the sports he has played, and very, very good at golf.
