As for the fungo-ing - They were doing pregame in-out in right field, the kind travel teams use when they cannot get the whole field. Noticed then that this guy was pretty good. Most coaches struggle to just get the ball somewhere in the vicinity of the chosen fielder, but he was moving the infielders fronthand then backhand and banging out majestic fly balls moving the outfielders in different directions each time. He never mis-hit a ball in the entire routine. But at the end was when he got my attention. As the fielders were taking their "slow-roller to home and in" instead of throwing to a catcher, they threw it back at the fungo coach and he peppered the ball to the next guy in line. Some of these throws were in the zone, but several were head or shoe-top height, and he hit perfect slow rollers to guys about fifty feet away every time. And, the grand finale - the stovepipe fly to the catcher. But he did it with a wrinkle. As the last guy came in for his roller, he carried the ball in little closer, but still probably 15 feet away, and tossed it to the coach underhanded. Coach tracked the toss and adjusted his swing to hit the ball straight up about a hundred feet. Really cool to watch. I've seen a ton of baseball games, but never seen anyone even attempt that routine - much less actually pull it off.
