But it s hard for me to say some things like this to his face. Even though I mean them. I have told him a couple of times, though, how proud I am to be his friend. Tony Gwynn summons me. For the unenlightened, tee-ball is a game played by youngsters just getting used to this game.
Batters swing at a ball placed on a belt-high plastic tube.
I m none too pleased. When I m hitting off the tee, what I like to do is break it down into two things. One, I want to take my stride and get my hands into the hitting position. And from this position, I want to take the knob of the bat right to the ball. When you re working off the tee, you never have to swing hard, because the object is not to hit the ball over the fence, but just to work on your mechanics.
