re: Why are umpires allowed to have their "own" strike zones?

I was going to read your post but I cant take you seriously with that much text.
To answer your question, the strike zone is subjective. Always has been, always will be. As long as they establish it early in a game and are consistent, players know it is their job to adjust.

And yet the rulebook has a definition of "strike" and "strike zone", and even has an illustration of the strike zone.
The subjectiveness of the strike zone is one of those annoying things about baseball that people just accept. I understand the accommodation for interpretation and human error, but that does not account for the sometimes blatantly disparate strike zones that some umps have.
