Did they run out of shoe laces to tie together to make a string from home to first?

 

Remember kids...cell phones and line chalking do not mix.

Made the detour to line it up with the base, and still missed the edge to leave part of the base hanging out in what would be fair territory.

If that photo were on a food package of some sort, it'd be captioned with "serving suggestion only".

Maybe the base is made of the core of a neutron star, so is warping space-time. The line was straight but got bent in the gravity well.

That'd be helpful for bang-bang plays, as an observer such as an umpire outside the gravity well of the super dense base would see the play at a slower speed due to the similar warping of time. Instant slow-motion!

So I read "A Brief History of Time". So I understood some of the parts other than the foreword, dedication, copyright info and table of contents. So shoot me! (Just not with a relativistic baseball thrown at 90% speed of light.)

Me at plate meeting to HT Coach:  "Coach, any ground rules we should know about?  How do we play it off the passed out grounds crew member laying there in what appears to be fair territory just past 1B?"

That's awesome!  Definitely more humorous that your standard line curve past the bases or 1st/3rd in foul territory lines.

call the line up to the bag, let the bag take over, then the line again after the bag????Hmmm, they should just not draw a line and let the imaginary line imaginary argument theory take over.

Looks like Otis, the groundskeeper at Mayberry Park, had a snootfull......

 

Are we certain that the line is actually chalk and not... some other substance?
