His kid was on our high school team and was our best hitter. Josh was a very patient hitter and Carney got frustrated with all the walks and takes on 3-1 and 2-0 pitches. They made a deal: every Josh took a 3-1 or 2-0 strike, he owed his dad five bucks. Even when I was sixteen, i thought that was idiotic.
