Johnny steps up to the plate.  He cinches his batting gloves tighter, knocks the dirt off his cleats with the bat, steps into the batter's box and digs in. The pitcher's face twists into a sneer as he grinds the ball into his hip.  Johnny takes a couple practice swings and drops into his power stance.The catcher gives the pitcher the signal.  He shakes it off.  The catcher signals again.  The pitcher nods.  Reaching out in his wind-up, the pitcher kicks high and snaps a high-speed slider at the plate.Little does the pitcher know that outside and low is Johnny's sweet spot.Johnny watches the orb speeding towards the plate and lifts his left leg in preparation to meeting the ball.  He uncoils with enough power to knock out an elephant.  The bat makes contact with the ball two inches from the end.  The crack is so powerful, it's not only heard, but felt in the chests of everyone in the stadium.As the horsehide covered sphere takes off, everyone stands with their mouths haning open to watch its departure.The announcer hollers into the mic "Good Lord, that's headed to the parking lot!!  That's right, Johnny just put one out of the park."I just hope the next episode is as good.
