Hey, Tom, what are you up to? Writing only for the locals with the "kyrielle" of baseball-patois lingo! Even I who founded "Les Bêtes Noires" in 1986 (a baseball club in Paris, trained and entered my team in the national league over here) can't quite follow your rap, until I read Jeanne Watson's commentary about "crotch scratching". In any case, my team had to drop out owing to the then Socialist Party regional heads refusing to accept (and allow) their grounds being pock-marked by base-balls dropping out of the sky!!! And the Secretary-General of the National Police Force who was the head of the league could do nothing about it at all. Curious country!
You sure have balls writing a parody of that great classic poem, Casey at Bad! On the other hand, I certainly had to chuckle when you got screwed. You should've seen it coming with those signals.
This is delightful! It read like a horse race commentary, so full of action and edge-of-seat anticipation. I am not a sport fan, but this caught my attention by the way it was written. I think my pulse even stood up in the stands. I enjoy the word ‘whiffed.’ Fun one! ~~ djl

Go when ever I can ... Giants AND a Dodgers fan made this a very exciting and difficult season.
Laughed out load thinking that crotch scratching could be an actual sign between the pitcher and catcher. It's just that dang cup ... or crabs.
Totally enjoyed.
