Some of those drills took some thought, RJM.

I started playing ball in Belgium. Belgium has trees so my dad hung a Michelin bicycle tire from a tree and I threw the one baseball we had through the tire.  Then I lost the ball.  Option became tennis balls which Belgium also has.   Also, like RJM and probably everyone else who picked up a mitt, I did the wall drill, over and over and over.  I can still remember the sound. Belgium has walls but the ball bouncing off the wall sounds different there. They sound like a snooty French waiter.
