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!

Lindsay Laurie Date: 5/17/2015 6:05:00 PM 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 Login to Reply Robert L. Hinshaw Date: 5/17/2015 7:27:00 PM 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
