awkward arms might
I might have been able to make it as a pitcher except for one thing: I had a rather awkward motion and every time I brought my left arm forward I hit myself in the ear.
world looks jerry
Jerry Lumpe looks like the best hitter in the world until you put him in the lineup.
I got one that can throw but can't catch, and one that can catch but can't throw, and one who can hit but can't do either.
player
Even my players aren't players.
