I'll defer to you on the inaccuracy of hand-held stopwatches.
But, how much off can this type of timing be.....10% ?
That would change the time they ran 90 feet to 3.3 secs. That's
still fast time. Also, in your comparisons you keep switching
between yards and meters. And as you know, a 50 yard sprint
vs 50 meters can be quite a difference in time.
Now, the other factor to consider is that we are not talking
about a standing start when they timed Richie or Mickey. My
understanding is they are already in motion in the process of
swinging at the BB when the clock starts.
