If we toss a ball and hit him, does he drop into a tank of water?

Absolutely!

One just needs to replace the recessed ball holder with a plastic tank filled with water !

The Dodger HR, not Ron Hunt. I have no memory of Ron Hunt. I had to look him up. And read Bitty's link.

Dumb. Only 1 out. Dumb.

Grisham looked like he was in one of those slow-motion clips for the old “$6 Million Man” TV show.

Yup, that too. Just a dumb-ass call by the coach.

Another substandard hitting performance. A sweep in the offing?
