Which fingers?

that’s quite some limited code

Just keep to the straight and narrow Charley Brown.

It doesn’t matter what pitch Charlie Brown throws, they’re all going in one of two directions. Either flying over the wall or back through the mound knocking his clothes off.

CB may need a relief catcher.

The only pitch he knows is the home run ball.

At least Charlie Brown neither has to struggle to see the signal nor is he likely to shake his catcher off.

Charlie Brown needs to breathe thru his eye lids like a Lava Lizard..

Can you go over that again? I forget – what does two fingers mean?

They only have signals to make the other team think he knows what he’s gonna throw.

How about the middle finger held straight up?

Yes, you do, Chuck.

Is the catcher a homophobe?

Is he giving Charlie Brown the finger(s)?

Charlie Brown should realize that maybe, just maybe, he is not the best pitcher.

In “A Boy Named Charlie Brown” Schroeder said, “One finger will mean the high straight ball and two fingers will mean the low straight ball.” CB then asked about his other pitches like his slider, knuckle ball, etc. To which Schroeder repeated, “One finger will mean the high straight ball and two fingers will mean the low straight ball.”

Makes sense.
