Batter Up

He stepped to the plate and spit on his han's. He spit doffing his cap to cheering fans. Gave his privates a scratch Spit another huge batch, Then knocked a home run clean outta the stan's! Robert L.

Yes, there is a lot of spit (and scratching) in baseball. Enjoyed.

G'day Robert... not familiar with baseball, but I dare say, as in cricket, a whack over the fence is the ultimate for a batter. Your limerick defines a cricketing batsman perfectly so I can relate to the batter - Lindsay

Likewise, Lindsay, I know very little about cricket but in baseball, the players spit and scratch a bunch - they go thru some very strange gyrations when they are at home plate to try and smack the ball! Have a grand week, old cobber and keep on writin' - bob h
