In California, I worked a bunch of games for a particular team, so I got to know their catcher pretty well. Not that I think that is good, it's just the way it turned out. Well, he is at bat, a pitch comes in at the belt line, he takes, I strike it. He kind of looks sideways at me and I reply, "Steve, why did you take that one?" No answer, next pitch comes in, same spot, Steve cranks it over the fence. As he crosses home plate he has a big grin on his face...
Same catcher, up at bat, pitcher throws a really nice tight slider, Steve is fooled, and I ring him up (sort of dramatically)...he turns and say's, " Geeze Bob, you don't have to enjoy it THAT much"
