FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Pitching Practice" published April 13, 2014 - Peter: It starts off like your basic romantic comedy. Boy gets ball...boy throws ball...boy gets ball back...After a while, though, things begin to get serious. This isn't one of the casual flings they boy is used to. And then there's a twist! A major curve gets thrown! The teams have to switch places! Now the boy must hit the ball with a bat! What will he do? Will he miss on purpose and lose the game?! He takes his place in the batter's box...the ball comes toward him...he sheds a tear and...I'm told this is how they pitch in Hollywood. Coach: Being annoying in the dugout won't get me to put you out on the field any faster, Fox.
