You've got to keep the ball away from the sweet part of the bat. To do that, the pitcher has to move the hitter off the plate.

First it was Mackenzie King, then St. Laurent -- Christ, the Liberals were in something like 20 years in a row (22 actually) --and we simply needed a change. It was getting like a dictatorship.
