I just found my favorite baseball story ever.
In 1893, a batter fouled off a pitch and broke the last bat at the park, so he walked over to a woodpile and picked up an axe. Next pitch, he swung, cut the ball in half, and half of it went over the fence.
The game ended 2.5 to 2.
1. That’s a shotgun 2. Using dogs to hunt hogs is legal 3. Hogs are invasive and over populated and their numbers need to be controlled 4. That was a clean kill, the hog didn’t suffer.
