During my 18 years I came to bat almost 10,000 times. 
I struck out about 1,700 times and walked maybe 1,800 times.

That means I played seven years without ever hitting the ball.

Just let go, it’s that easy.  [starts to jog away]  Smalls: How do I catch it.
Benny: Just stand out there and stick your glove out in the air. I'll take care of it. ~The Sandlot
