[QUOTE=NCASAUmp] ... But on the ballfield, each runner is different. Two runners can hit the same ball to the same spot with the same speed, yet one ends up with a single while the other stretches it into a triple.

LOL ... The above part of your post reminds me of a story I heard on Saturday Night Live many years ago. Two white guys (Billy Crystal) and (maybe Martin Short) were playing the part of two old black ball players recalling the good ole' days when they played in the negro league. They really looked and acted the part well. The dark make-up and the "nappy hair" etc. was similar to the old Amos and Andy that some on the board may remember from way back when. Well, these two baseball players from the negro league were hysterical! They started to brag about how good they played and one said he was not only a great player but was a fast runner too! He said: "I was so fast that one time when I hit a screaming line drive up the middle it hit me in the head while sliding into second base".... Fun at the ole' ball park! .. Al
