Illustration: On a neighborhood baseball ground beside a river embankment, an amateur batter finishes an enormous swing with his torso twisted and back foot pivoting in the dirt. His bat has passed well clear of the ball, which is just entering the catcher's open mitt behind him. The catcher barely has to move.
