into the black hole!

[fknmclane]

Donnie Baseball just hit a homer into large black mass in centerfield!  I haven't done that in about ten years.  I can't believe it just happened.  Hooray for fknmclane!

[TβG]

does it bother any of you other rocket scientists/baseball fans that it's called a "black hole"?   congrats to donnie B, but if it were a black hole then more home runs would be hit into it because of the lewinsky-ness of what a black hole does-- sucks gravity like crazy into a tiny mass.

anyway, very simply boys... it's the hitter's background

[doveRBI]

ball players call that "the batter's eyes"

[ultimate7]

You were using an ALL-STAR team?

[fknmclane]

Random choices.  Always.

[Flood]

That's why it's called the "Black Thing" rather than the "Black Hole"

However, I prefer the term "the void"

[fknmclane]

I like that.

[sucka free]

i refer to it as the "great beyond".

[Glassjoe]

I have a black hole, too.  

[Reggie]

its proper name is the "black stuff".

[Gantry]

Every since I've heard Black Thing (what ever happened to the poster BlackThing?) we've used that term.  It's even in the glossary now...

And I honestly think the rarity of the Black Thing is overrated.  It's certainly not common, but does happen every once in awhile.  I find the wallzie to be much more uncommon...

[GDavis]

Agree with Gantry.  Black thing HRs are fairly common.

[Burnzky]

   If it is the hitter's background, then y does it say game over at the end of the game?

[SmokedUBad13]

Excellent point Burnzky.  Anybody up for answering that one?  I think it's an extension of the scoreboard.

I hit one in there with Kirby Puckett (Al Groper) tonight!  While I don't think it's the rarest feat out there, I'm still damn pleased with myself.

[Flood]

I too get a little excited every time I put one into the void.  It's not really a great feat, but it's the little things in life that make me happy.  Like crack cocaine.
