A mom at a baseball game was curious what a LHP was throwing, and tries to sneek a look at stalker gun reading from the MLB scouts. She thinks she sees 97 mph, actually 91 mph.The Mom tells the HS coach who tells a local newspaper who writes in an article the LHP was throwing 97 mph.
Not the mom of the LHP.

Needless to say MLB scouts flocked to the next game. The LHP threw 90-92 mph next game in front of a ton of MLB scouts, cross checkers and scouting directors.

...or even an LHP eighth grader throwing low 80's...ought to get a peek... Cool

Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball, the rules and realities of the game—and do it by watching first some high-school or small-town teams.
