And I've seen them sell the crap out of an out call at home when the throw sailed clear to the backstop.

The mechanic has been out for a while. I'll use 1BLX until I'm mandated to do such. MLB has pristine fields. Most fields I've been on aren't that way. Can't see a damn thing with dirt flying everywhere from 3BLX.
