up without waiting for a signal nor
nothin. an slams the ball straight at
SwattenIouts precious ribs.
OUCH" yells the batting wonder as
he fell in a heap. The ball didnt
touch him, but he got up, blinded with
rage. He pounded on the plate and
stamped his spikes in, and before he
could get the forty-pound slugger up
