Disgusting. He should have been booed.

Before the NWA Naturals game Saturday night, the PA announcer had one of their players take a bow for having set the franchise record for home runs in a season. During the game, that player had no hits, and came to the plate twice with the bases loaded - and struck out both times. He should have been booed roundly, but he wasn't, of course. There is no penalty for striking out. Be a bad batter. Don't do your job. Go up there swinging for the fences trying to be a hero instead of just meeting the ball and doing your job - it doesn't matter.

Oh, by the way, the Naturals lost by one run. All that batter had to do was poke the ball through the infield and his team probably would have won - but he had to swing for the fences, trying to hit a grand slam - and his team lost. That makes my blood boil!
