With baseball's opening day six weeks away, pitchers and catchers are now in spring training. A drawing by
Ronald Searle, apparently a spot for
TV Guide, shows a pitcher kicking up a storm. Searle's gift for exaggeration results in players who are all legs--and, to all appearances, no crotches. The pitcher's mound is flat and the ball field is indicated only by the heavy horizontal line. Whether the imminent pitch will result in a balk, I'm going to have to leave to the umpires.

Note: If thers one thing this blogger has learned, it's that there's never a dull moment with
Ronald Searle.
Oh, and some people find the
baseball posts interesting too.
