Took me a second to realize those are trees in the background and not an airstrike.

Recent news has poisoned me.

Pretty uncharitable, though I can empathize.

Yeah when I was a kid I wondered why the batter didn't take the bat along with them as they ran the bases, so they could slug the people trying to tag them out. My other idea was for the pitcher to set the ball on fire before throwing it.

Contact baseball should be a thing. You're ahead of your time.

But if you set the ball on fire, then when the batter hits it, their bat will catch on fire, because they're made of wood. And then they'd have a flaming bat to slug your guys with!
