Down 2 games to none the Rockies find themselves in a terrible batting slump. I heard that Clint Hurdle held a special batting practice session. It seemed to be of no value. The players could only dribble the ball on the ground or, after a healthy swing, pop it about 20 feet into the air.
Hurdle grabbed a bat, ran out of the dugout, and said, "Let me show you guys what I want." The pitcher threw the ball. Hurdle missed by a mile. After a dozen swings in which he didn't manage to hit one ball with authority, he threw the bat to the ground and said, "That's what you've been doing. Now get up there and hit the stupid ball."
