Al Leiter, Student Of The Michael Kay School

Dear Yankee Apologist,

Al Leiter is bordering on Kay/Sterling/Waldman/McCarver level annoyance. In discussing Okajima he just said "he's got a real good curveball, what we call a 12-to-6 curveball".

"What we call"?

Al, please let me explain something to you. "12-to-6 curveball" is not equivalent to a super-top-secret NSA code word for a dark-of-night black ops invasion operation. It is a commonly known and widely used phrase, one which even casual baseball fans have knowledge of. You are not a font of individual insight and knowledge.
