This article needs to be cleaned up to take out the POV language. Rick K 04:51, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC) Has Realatives in Hawaii —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.43.202.117 (talk) 01:47, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"After outfielder Doc Brooks was ejected for arguing balls and strikes"[edit]

I heard about batters that argue strikes, but never heard of ANY batter arguing balls... Brooks said that all he every said to the umpire was "is that as far as you're goin'" - so he never argued any balls, and since he never saw a strike at his at bat, he certainly could never have argued one in the first place. -- Hoffmansk 20:32, 23 January 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hoffmansk (talk • contribs)
