An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

A baserunner who fakes running to the previous base — who dares the pitcher to pay attention, lest he render himself further away from scoring a run — could cause the pitcher to hurt himself as his jaw dropped too quickly and perhaps hit the "pitcher's mound." The pitcher and other defensive players could also injure themselves by laughing too hard. This would make a travesty of the game.

For example, during the next commercial break, when David Ortiz stood next to a can of beer, of course prohibited by law from saying what beer is, whether it tastes good, or why you would pick that brand except that it is Ortiz's brand, the viewer would be thinking, "That is the stiff who ran the bases backwards! I am not going to drink the same brand of beer!" A National Pastime that could not sell beer would be rendered a travesty.
