LOL . . . well, on a couple occasions I've actually seen the cover come off a ball when it was hit hard.

But then . . . the balls that were hit look something like this :

My son was a pitcher and he was playing at an opponents place in a very important game. Wind was blowing out. He gave up quite a few HR, but everyone was. Bet one shot was just huge. My son even admired that shot. But he had similar feelings. 

that is funny.  I'm going to steal it!

I heard a good one the other day. Pitcher blows a fastball past the hitter at practice. SS yells out "ooooieee!! Dats Dat loozianna fast ball!" We were like what? He goes "yep! Straight bayou!" (By you)

Those are classic.  Son has a pretty BIG grin when he heard.  Here's a few funny ones we heard this week from an opposing team's students.  

I'll change the names to protect the innocent here, but our kids were met chants when they got in the batter's box.

At bat....  Jake "smith" - Students.... Hey Jake, what are ya wearing? .... Khaki's?  (ala State Farm commercial)

At bat....  "Pete" Cone - Students.... Hey Pete, you're not a 'Cone' you're a 'Hexagon'!  

Funniest part is the kid commented at the end of the game... Why are they calling me a hexagon? Teammates explained to him that a cone is a shape, hexagon is a different shape (ha ha).

I know my wife and I were in the minority b/c some of our parents got pretty fired up at the chants, but we give the other teams students an A+ for creativity. Kinda reminded us of CWS.

Good luck to all this spring, and stay healthy for summer!
