In my own case I have frequently faced the pitcher when I had no desire whatever to hit. I wanted to get a base on balls.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

I am convinced that the reason so many fans leave Dodger Stadium after the seventh inning is that they become bored.

If you have a block of ballistics gelatin and a high-speed camera, pretty soon somebody gets a gun!
