    I love that there is also the distinct possibility of non-Christian babies up there on the mound, with the pitcher as well.

    What happens if the pitcher throws a baby of a different faith? Infield fly rule that leads to a game ending double play?

      Some baseball scholars consider any contact between the bat and a Hindu, Sikh or Buddhist baby to be foul bunt, and therfore an automatic strike. A Scientologist, Church of Latter Day Saints or Jehova’s Witness baby on the other hand is considered a fair ball unless caught in flight with runners on first, first and second, first and third, or bases loaded (with less than two out).

        I’m imagining a controversial new Ken Burns Documentary, with an emotional forward by Tommy Lasorda.
