Ah, spring is in the air. Baseball and pitchers, politicians and elections.
Let's compare baseball and political speeches.
The pitchers (politicians) walk out from the bull pen (now that a good name for Parliament).
They walk up to the pitchers mound (podium, soap box).
Here comes the pitch (speech).
Overhanded, underhanded, sidearm, submarine. Fastball, curve ball, slider, sinker, knuckle ball, spit ball, cutter, change up, knock down, brush back.
They pitch from the left. They pitch from the right
You can bat from the left or bat from the right or be a switch hitter.
Try to get a square hit and remember to keep the ball in fair territory.
Oh, the games people play now.
