The "curve-ball"... too good to be true...

**glwilson** · 10-14-2010, 05:29 PM

Okay... for those that love baseball, or have pitched a few games themselves -- you may surprised to learn that a curve-ball doesn't really curve.

According to recent research; things are not what they appear to be.

The first link is the article about this.

The second link takes you to a screen demonstrating what you see when looking at a curve-ball. Be sure to first watch the ball fall in a straight-line... then move your eyes to the blue spot on the right and watch what happens to your curve-ball.

I found it interesting.
