Oh, you mean "Ball ball ball ball ball ball ball ball ball
ball ball ball ball ball....!!!!"?

A couple of years ago I was coaching an 8th grade
team that needed help on their defense. One practice
I taught them the "Ball ball ball" thing, but reminded them
to only say "Ball" when it comes into their zone. This
one kid (smallest, least athletic but brightest & most
enthusiastic) spend the next 10 minutes shouting
"Ball ball ball ball ball ball!" at the top of his
still soprano voice. After practice I needed 2 double
scotches to calm down.
