A weird thought
We're watching football and baseball at work, and I got to thinking about how each "play" begins in the respective sports. One is pretty logical: a guy throws the ball to another guy who tries to hit it. The other is just completely arbitrary: the quarterback puts his hand between the legs of one of several hunched over three-hundred-pound monsters and receives the football like he's pulling an egg from a chicken.
What if baseball worked this way? That is, what if the pitcher "hiked" the ball to the hitter? For safety's sake, every pitch would be from the shotgun formation. And woe betide the pitcher who doesn't turn around quick enough and catches a liner in the tochus.
Just one more reason why baseball is better than football.
