And, an optimally hit curveball travels farther than a well-struck fastball.
More fun for the physics-inclined. Greg Sawicki and colleagues spent some time modeling how to hit a baseball as far as possible back in 2003. Sawicki, Hubbard, and Monte.2003. How to hit home runs: Optimum baseball bat swing parameters for maximum range trajectories. American Journal of Physics 71(11): 1152-62. (www.laserpablo.com/baseball/HowToHitHomeRuns.pdf). Now get out there and dominate, you Knowledge Bowl Olympians!
