I think the New York review team also believes that ball hit the screen on the foul pole before the fielder touched it, but they could not confirm that conclusively. They didn't need to because the ball bounced off the fielder's glove and hit the foul pole again.

I never think about my score, but I think about the test once in awhile because I still have a scar on my left index finger I got cutting myself opening a Heineken with a pen knife before the test. I turned in my score sheet with blood stains all over it.

Twice now at grocery stores in the self checkout I swiped and bagged my groceries, and left. Once I got all the way home and when I went back they told me to just take the groceries and leave. The other time I only got halfway to my car, and when I went back my transaction was still on the machine.

Widen the court two feet at each baseline and lengthen it by one foot on each end line too. Keep it the same width between the hash marks, and make it hourglass shaped. Move the 3 point line out a foot and run it into the sidelines. Put a 3 point arc in each corner. That's my fix.
