Sports: RE: [DucatiST] Re: So who's got the 4-valve shim kit?

The "rubber" in American baseball refers to the object the pitcher uses as a push off point for the delivery of his pitch. Although wikipedia says this: "Atop the mound is a white rubber slab, called the pitcher's plate." We always referred to it as the "rubber" when I was playing baseball. But, that was 40+ years ago.

Isn't a rubber something to do with 'Bridge', the card game? Can't say I've heard the term in regards to cricket.

Not quite the same...but stepping up to the plate is the batter stepping up to "home plate" so the pitcher can pitch the ball in Americxan baseball. The rubber is a cricket term though I think more like an inning in baseball.

Too many years since I was in Merry ole England....

Obviously I've lived a sheltered life: which rubber would that be?!

Anyway, business back to usual on the shim front, unless someone wants to take charge of the issue...
