    I’d forfeit the game anyway.

    I love Charlie Brown’s sideways look.

    In the days before duct tape was the answer to everything, there was electrical tape. Back in the days this was written, real duct tape (made for AC and heating ducts, hence the name) was so strongly adhesive it would take the skin off if it got stuck to your fingers.

    We did just that to baseballs in the 1950s as kids!

    I don’t recall doing that with cricket balls as kids, but then I didn’t play that much cricket.

    Now the batters won’t be able to see the rotation of the stitches on the ball when you throw your fastball Charlie Brown. Maybe you will be able to strike out your first, ever, batter!

    I remember putting tape on bat handles to improve the grip.

    Didn’t Lucy do that to Charlie Brown’s hockey stick?

    Seriously, Schroder. 128-0 in the first inning isn’t bad enough, you really want them to score five times as many point? Too much tape.

    When I was a kid, we wrapped whiffle balls with black tape until they were heavier, put lead pipes in the whiffle ball bats and then taped them. Might as well have been playing baseball.

    I can relate to this. When I went to school (“a few years ago”), the boys got all the new equipment. The girls only got the equipment that the boys had used and damaged: baseballs with broken seams, cracked bats and such. The pitcher and catcher got filthy, stinky, falling apart gloves (never a mitt); the rest of us had to field bare-handed. It’s a wonder none of us were seriously injured.
