It's better to be lucky than good.
No one hit home runs the way Babe (Ruth) did. They were something special. They were like homing pigeons. The ball would leave the bat, pause briefly, suddenly gain its bearings, then take off for the stands.
If you don't throw it, they can't hit it.

I've got a new invention. It's a revolving bowl for tired goldfish.
I don't want to throw him nothing. Maybe he'll just get tired of waiting and leave.
