WHAT AWAY

In high school,i dated a girl with 3 sisters- baseball was as foreign to her as
san pedro demacoris,D.R.-
she was forced to at least try to understand the game-as i was (and remain) a "junkie"

her comprehension of early teachings was good-she had (and has) a bright mind
3 outs-4 balls and 3 strikes(so unfair-she said)-9 innings etc. etc.

her 1st question? "what is ""what away"" ?
"the announcer-he always says what away-why?"

"i have absolutely no idea what you are talking about" "what away? what?"

"yeah-listen"

next inning-leadoff hitter-"groundball to short-over to first-1 away"

"see-what away"

"no,no,no-1 away-1 out-2 to go-watch-
he'll say 2 away next hitter-"fly ball-centerfield-can of corn-2 away"

"what's a can of corn"

"about 35 cents"

"huh?-will he say 3 away next?"

"no-they never say that"

"why not?"

"i dunno-3rd base?"

"what"?

"no he is on second"

"i'm kidding with you-do you want to go see a game-live and in person?

"ok"
