And I became a right-brained engineer. Drove the left-brainers crazy.

I had a liberal arts perspective as opposed to their, IMHO, more, well, classical engineer's mindset. Truth be told, I should have attended Emory & Henry and majored in History. I did take 3 American history courses under Dr. Robertson, and one under Dr. Nurse.

My Dad was right-handed, so I bat right-handed

Takes a superior brain to pull that off. Left works the right side,

Driving the left-brainers crazy sounds like fun. FWIW - BA History.**

No imagination. Terrible at brainstorming. **

I am a righty. But my Dad was a lefty. He was confused as well.

To add, both dingers last night were off first pitches.
IB4TECH • 04/18/26 08:12 AM ET
First pitch swinging is verboten. . . . . . @hokiepro would say!**
laphroaig • 04/18/26 11:15 AM ET
Not forbidden. Situationally ok.

Meh. See the ball hit the ball. Nothing special about the second pitch
laphroaig • 04/18/26 03:37 PM ET
Can watch a new pitcher warm up**
TomTurkey • 04/18/26 03:42 PM ET
Any batter can and should be gauging and timing a pitcher from the on deck
laphroaig • 04/18/26 03:48 PM ET
VT does**

Harc, the herald at-bat sings..
TomTurkey • 04/18/26 02:03 PM ET
An off-pitch singer can be harsh on the ears**
TomTurkey • 04/18/26 08:41 AM ET
Corrected. **
IB4TECH • 04/18/26 08:47 AM ET
Good sport ^^^ Thanks for that bit of trivia.**
TomTurkey • 04/18/26 11:27 AM ET
Great facts and lesson for the day!**
RJHokie • 04/18/26 07:58 AM ET
Math and calculations here might make for a future math teacher.**
