Grandpa: Okay, li'l boy, let's see what you got this season. Emmee! That is one heck of a change-up pitch, grandson.

Jerome: That was my fastball, grampa. Grandpa: Hmm... well, it's a perfect change-up, so let's call it that. Jerome: But that's my only pitch. I don't have anything to change up from.
Well Jerome, maybe your grandaddy can teach you some new pitches like a curveball, a slow ball or my personal favorite, the screwball.
