Huh. Reminds me of a softball tournament in ls. We were playing "no strikeouts" to keep the games fun. Some poor guy went up to bat, hands wide apart, feet awkard. His swing was an ugly lunge forward, like a drunk tripping on shoelaces. By strike 6 or 7, it was obvious he was not going to hit the ball. But what could we do - there were no strikeouts. Everyone was quiet, all attention was on him, I have seldom felt so bad for a human. Finally, mercifully, the law of averages kicked in somewhere around strike 15 and the ball made contact with the bat. The pitcher easily fielded the dribbler and threw him out at first. He did not bat again and spent the rest of the afternoon safely by the kegs.
