> Imagine you're a young kid walking across the infield at Yankee stadium early one morning with a bat in your hands, when you find a ball on the ground. You pick it up and give it your best swing. Do you try to hit a hard ground ball or do you try to jack it over the fence? It's that simple!

It's that simple huh...It's to bad that the game doesn't involve tossing the ball up into the air to yourself.

Nice little speech though.
