Fla-Ore game today. Demonstration by JMendo was supposed to be the "drag bunt".

Apparently, no one in softball knows that on a drag bunt, the idea is to "drag" the ball, not drop it dead in front of the plate. Then, of course, the THs had to note what a great "drag" bunt a UF player laid down about 2' in front of the plate.

I almost forgot, when you drag bunt, you stay square to the plate, never open up toward 1B.

I'm absolute stunned that I missed the complete rewriting of the Official Dictionary and Encyclopedia of Sports Terms.

Especially since you wrote it.

Perhaps it was to be hitting techniques by a Cher impersonating transvestite.
