http://www.theplayerspoint.com/www.theplayerspoint.com/THE_ROYAL_PITCH/THE_ROYAL_PITCH.html Hi Folks, we're going to talk some baseball for the next few month but first let me get you up to snuff about myself.<br/> I signed with the Royals out of high school in 1971, Gideon MO a farming community, soybeans, cotton, and water moccasins. I spent six years with the Royals and was then traded to the Cardinals where I ended my playing days in 1982. From 1988 to 2006 I coached at the minor league level and coached abroad as well, Dominican, Puerto Rico, and Australia. I am the inventor of the 'Nutty <br/>Buddy' (a protective cup ... that was much needed). I am 56 yrs. young and have a Connie Mack team in Phoenix and work on throwing and pitching skills with kids from ages 9 to 99. <br/>I hope that I can give you some insight to the royals this season ... lets follow the rest of their season together. iWeb 3.0 http://www.theplayerspoint.com/www.theplayerspoint.com/THE_ROYAL_PITCH/Entries/2009/5/21_Term_of_the_Day_Swing_Games.html dd48917f-1914-40f8-b5ea-22fe576bd90f Thu, 21 May 2009 12:42:05 -0400 <a href="http://www.theplayerspoint.com/www.theplayerspoint.com/THE_ROYAL_PITCH/Entries/2009/5/21_Term_of_the_Day_Swing_Games_files/3323906184_06a7146b3c.jpg"><img src="http://www.theplayerspoint.com/www.theplayerspoint.com/THE_ROYAL_PITCH/Media/object002_1.jpg" style="float:left; padding-right:10px; padding-bottom:10px; width:176px; height:132px;"/></a>What are Swing Games - Well, all clubs are going to win 60 game and their <br/>going to lose 60 games, we now have 40 game remaining (somewhere two rainouts <br/>are going to be in the works). These 40 games are called swing games. These <br/>are games that are won or lost by one run. At the end of the year or as the <br/>year moves on add up how many swing games come into play.<br/>Let this be part of your baseball vocabulary.<br/><br/>The 'Nutty Buddy' guy making the 'Royal Pitch'
