Explain away your bad at-bats and imperfect pitches-and have your friends laugh at the same time!
InBaseball's Best Excuses, author Joshua Shifrin takes a witty approach in helping baseball players make sense of their worst days on the diamond. The next time a player leads his or her team in defeat, he or she can always explain the woeful performance with "The guy batting after me is terrible."

The pitcher was taking too much time between pitches.
The fans behind home plate were distracting.
I'm not used to the dimensions in this park.
The manager had me playing out of position.
Andmany more!
