Batting Practice Quotes

“In a proud fatherly sadomasicisticly way, I am thrilled when I get hit. As every deep purple bruise on my body represented a perfect swing.

As soon as I was able to, I would throw batting practice again from the short distance, and take another shot if necessary to keep the boys in the zone.”
― John Passaro, In the Zone and Other Sports Essays
