FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Speedball" published April 12, 2015 - Marcus: We've come up with a way to help speed up televised baseball games. Roger: You boys should write the MLB commissioner's office. That's something they're wanting to do this season. Jason: Our initial idea was they should glue three balls together so a single well-thrown pitch could strike a batter out. Marcus: Then we changed it to nine balls so a single pitch could strike out the side. Jason: Of course, they'd need a three-handled bat so three players could be up at once. Marcus: Finally, however, we thought, why not glue 81 balls together and end all nine innings for a team with one perfect pitch? Jason: We're still working out whether the bat needs nine handles or 27. Roger: Um, what I said a minute ago? Ignore it.

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.

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Am I Okay?" published March 24, 2013 - Andy: I heard your school's baseball tryouts were today. You okay? Peter: Am I okay? I'm GREAT! I played the best baseball I've ever played! I hit six straight home runs. I threw a flaming curveball that no one could hit...I flew 50 feet through the air to make a miracle bare-handed catch... Andy: Interesting. All Paige told me was that you got beaned by a pitch. Peter: That I don't remember. Oh, and Derek Jeter drove by and asked for my autograph...

FoxTrot comic strip by Bill Amend - "Field of Nightmares" published April 17, 2011 - Peter: Coach? I had a dream last night where you finally let me play in a game. I struck out every time I was at bat, dropped every ball that was hit to me, and as the winning run was heading to home, I accidentally threw the ball into the stands. Pleeeeease let me play today! I need to redeem myself! Coach: You might want to work on your salesmanship, Fox.
