Advice needed on "Hands part of the bat" myth

[Kevin Finnerty]

A parent at a recent game after I call a guy out on a banger: "Come on, Blue, tie goes to the runner!"

Sideline conversation with coach during a substitution: "You know, Casey [his actual name], your parents combine more words with less knowledge than any group of parents in the greater Los Angeles area."

Reaction: couldn't stop laughing long enough to respond. Every time I looked at him the rest of the day and after the game, he started chuckling.
