Grandpa: Okay, now lean over that plate. You own it. George: Grampa giving you some batting tips, Jerome? Jerome: Yeah. Grandpa: Keep that bat high. When the pitch comes, shift your weight back - lean into the pitch, and turn as the ball hits you. Fall on the ground and writhe in pain, even if it just grazes you. George: Dad! What are you doing? You're supposed to be showing him how to hit the ball. Grandpa: I'm showing the boy how to get on base. George: You're showing him how to cheat! Grandpa: I'm showing him "gamesmanship"! By the way, Jerome, at your age, tears can help sell it to the ump.
