The Fly Ball

Last Night I was sitting attending my son's Little League game. I overhead a little boy asking his mother what do they with all the insects they catch? The bewildered mother looked at the youngster and with a puzzled look asked the boy what did he mean. The boy replied that the coach keeps yelling catch that FLY. As the mother tried to explain that a ball hit that does not touch the ground is called a fly ball and that the coach shorten it to just FLY, I realized that baseball has it's own language.

To help explain many of the words and phrases used in baseball I decided to have some fun by writing this blog. I hope you enjoy it and return for future. Yogi Berra and Casey Stengel may have had funny quips about the game but innocent children point out the not so obvious. If you have any funny or amusing interpretation of baseball lingo please feel free to write a comment.
