Kris3333,

Just out of curiosity, what were the "terms" of the wager?

Not really. Technically, you're wrong. As it was explained, once the pitcher is ready to pitch, the batter may not switch batter's boxes.

It matters not who wins the bet, as it will be a win-win situation regardless.

It sounds like one of those trick questions on the NFHS exams anyway.

Guys - I seems pretty clear Kris is NOT a "switch-hitter".

I'll bet she's not a pitcher either!

One can certainly ascertain from the original post that this was not the boyfriend's position. These are not two umpires arguing, or even two coaches. The basic argument was whether or not a batter could switch boxes during his at bat, not when the pitcher had come set.

Based on the original post, Kris wins.

Based on the wager, the boyfriend wins.

For those of us with active imaginations, we all win.

OUCH Tim!!! Next thing you know you're balking a baseball player and balling a fastpitch player.

As Garth intoned yesterday. I have never "balled" a baseball pitcher. Now, softball.......................
