Boredom at the ol' ball park

So as I'm calling one of the slowest games I've had all year (only 3 calls as BU), I realize I have to do something, ANYTHING, to keep my mind sharp. Between batters, I do the math in my head. There's no actual statistics I'm using as a reference, so I guesstimate in my head...

An average SP game...

3 pitches per batter
5 batters per half inning
2 halves make an inning
6 innings per game
220 games per average year, give or take.

Each year, I see 39,600 pitches. By the end of this year, I will have seen almost 600,000 pitches, not including warm-up pitches, games I've watched or games I've or played in.

Maybe I need to move to FP or Modified...

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
