Tim.
Like Garth, I don't care if F2 moves away.

As far as flinching, a long time ago, I had a friend throw rubber balls at me (my equipment on, of course). From that, he switched to regular baseballs and threw them easy. I just got used to seeing the ball coming at me.

Now, all I can tell you is that after 20+ years of getting whacked, nothing seems to phase me anymore. A ball heading at me at 90+ mph doesn't even raise a hair on my head. I just concentrate on the pitch and call it.

Then enjoy the "concern" of the crowd after I take a shot!
