my abject apologies to EC for costing her [strikethrough].500[/strikethrough] 1.000 vote in my pique of low dudgeon; and also my profuse plea for longanimity from the actual author, Barbara Gregorich, who couldn't possibly care less that I illegally cast .500 vote for her most excellent opening pitch, which (by default) I illegally changed to 1.000 vote, notwithstanding.
edit: BTW, thanks for that, Faldage.

E) Sliding spike-high into first after a pick-off attempt wasn't really a routine play, but those lovely bare legs were such tempting targets, and bled so easily. BRUTE --Milo
Oh, come on, Milo, I was just imagining how Ty Cobb would've welcomed a young lady to the customs of life in the Big leagues. 'Course, uh, I guess 'Bama Boys played the game a lot more mannerly than the Georgia Peach, huh?

Well done Connie and indeed all others whatever your vote hauls. I was surprised and delighted to see my own concoction had not only snared two American male afficionados of the game, but had deluded Milo as to the gender of the authorial voice - LLOL! So, thanks again Faldo - a really fun game - it only remains to ask if the rest of the book is as dire as that opening line?!

Long before women were burning their bras, and marching for equal rights, a small group of women were striking a blow for equality, one home run at a time.
Somebody oughta write a book that starts with this sentence. Many people buy books based on the first sentence of the first chapter, second only to those who buy a book based on its title.
