Triviaaaaaaaaa........why is....?

The story goes that when the distance from home plate to the pitcher's plate was increased, it was supposed to be 60 feet. However, a grounds crew member misread the "60-0" and thought the "0" for inches was a "6." As a result, he set the pitcher's plate 60 feet, 6 inches from home plate instead of 60 feet, 0 inches.
