Chapter 10 Coach, I Want to Play Baseball(2/2)

"That's basically the same as not playing baseball." Xiao Hei nodded and explained to Teacher Ran.

He turned around and looked at Yi Cheng.

"You look a little thin."

"So what?" Yi Cheng looked at him dissatisfied.

"It's okay, just get hammered a few more times."

Yi Xingyu walked up, put his hand on his shoulder, and led him to the bullpen.

"I tell you, if you join the baseball team, don't make Coach Ran angry, otherwise the outcome will be very miserable."

"What the hell?"

"Nuo, did you see the one running there? He used to mock Teacher Ran as a tablet, so he was punished to run 20 laps."

“…”

A bad premonition surged in Yi Cheng's heart.

"Of course, if you can join the baseball team."

Xiao Hei smiled.

Yi Cheng felt that his back was a little cold.

...

The two came to the cowshed.

This cowshed is not the one who ties the cow.

In baseball, the bullpen talks about the area outside the baseball field that is used to warm up the pitcher before playing.

The most well-known allusion for the origin of the bullpen name is that in the 1910s, a tobacco company called "Bull     Durham" hung their advertising boards above the pitcher practice areas of many courts.

The company offered a bonus of $50 to hit the hitters who could hit the board. In addition, if the hitter hit a home run on a stadium with an ad board (a home run means knocking the ball out of the field and then being unable to be caught by the opponent), he can get a box of tobacco.

In 1910, all boards were hit 85 times in nearly 150 courts with Bull    Durham boards, and the company also issued a bonus of 4,250 and more than 10,000 pounds of tobacco.

As the pitcher practice area is close to the Bull      Durham board and the company's sponsorship, and the pitcher practice area is like a fence for captivity, over time, the pitcher practice area is called a bullpen.

Yi Xingyu put on the protective gear, squatted to the ground halfway, and stretched his gloves into his chest.

Xiao Hei chuckled, revealing a row of neat teeth.

He is not optimistic about this boy.

According to his idea, Yi Cheng is an arrogant maniac who has watched two games and has over-inflated his self-confidence.

Yi Xingyu had also experienced this stage before.

The pitcher is the soul of the team, who doesn’t want to be a pitcher?

but--

According to his estimate, this kid's ball probably won't fall into the catcher's glove.

Most of them will jump on the ground a few times, or fly with a high throwing line so that I don’t know where I went, right?

Just like Xiao Hei's idea-

Teacher Ran stood by and looked at them with his hands in his arms.

She really wanted to see how much this first-year newcomer could do.
