The machine pitched the first ball. Rameck swung with a powerful twist. He missed. The second ball erupted from the machine. Rameck swung again. He missed it by a mile. A third ball came. He swung and missed that one, too. The balls kept coming. Rameck kept swinging. And missing. George and Sampson, rolling with laughter, tried to offer suggestions at first to help him hit at least one of the balls. Finally, they gave up trying to help and just sat down on the ground, doubled over in laughter.

—We Beat the Street,
Sampson Davis et al
