Betty by Gary Delainey and Gerry Rasmussen for June 05, 2023

I don’t know whether to root for the kid to hit one out, hit one in, or whiff.

Don’t forget the Crackerjacks.

Ah! But the big question is which cliché.

Wait for the count to reach 3-2 for the cliche to be complete.

“Homers”? Verbing, indeed, weirds language.

And Casey, mighty Casey, advances to the plate.

Her opening line should read, “Bottom of the ninth”.

Where’s Bub?

“Oh, somewhere in this favored land, the sun is shining bright, The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light. And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout, But there is great joy in Betty — mighty Junior hit one out…” ⚾

How nice to see “cliché” used properly as a noun.
