Talking about wanting to hit the pitcher in the head when he hits the ball, that is plain stupid. Professionals don't think that way. First of all, that stops the game. It could start a brawl. Last, but not least, the pitcher could be killed or disabled for life. Plain stupid. And no substitute for a line drive down the inside of the base line.
Not to derail the thread too much further, but pitchers including otherwise-Conservative-Gentleman (IIRC) Nolan Ryan would pitch at and hit a known slugger to mess with his confidence. It's brutally aggressive but almost all of it is left on the playing field as just part of the job.
And now we return to our regular scheduled BorderCast ;^)
