1. Crash Davis said they were
"Strikeouts are boring. Besides, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls; they're more democratic."

2. Crash was wrong
He was dealing with the beta version of Jonathan Papelbon. Nuke and Paps have that blitzkrieg fastball, but watch Tim Wakefield or Charlie Hough muck up a batter and tell me that it's fascist!

3. When Hough punched guys out
they spun around so many times they screwed themselves into the dirt, like Wile E. Coyote.

I used to love it when he came in, unless there was a runner on third. It was so cool to watch that butterfly dance. And Yeager could actually catch it — though you notice he was the first catcher to wear a neck guard. :D
