60.5? How about 56 or 54 or 52, depending on when you hit "start." In any event its a another messy variable.

For the kids, 5280 is the number of feet in a mile (they don't teach that much anymore)

Another neat way to try to measure speed is to use a video camcorder and count frames. Again, very hard to measure fast pitches. I've tried.

Nothing beats a good gun.
