Why is it that I still hear so many players say "I NEVER swing at the first pitch"?!?!?
Is this part of their magical thinking? ( I know baseball/softball are sports with a lot of superstition/traditions/lucky charms.)
Do they think they need to "get a look" at what the pitcher's got first? ?Or do they think a pitcher will never throw a strike at the start of an at-bat??
I just could never automatically let that first one go by unchallenged. ?Hated to take a strike against me, "just lookin' " (never wanted to give the pitcher a freebie). ?
