A little boy was overheard talking to himself as he strutted through the backyard, wearing his baseball cap and toting a bat & ball. "I'm the greatest batter in the world!" he announced. Then he tossed the ball into the air, swung at it and missed.
"Strike One!" he yelled. Undaunted he picked up the ball and said again "I'm the greatest batter in the world!", tossed the ball up, swung and missed again.
"Strike Two!" he yelled.
He paused a moment to examine his bat and ball carefully, then spit on his hands and rubbed them together, straightened his cap and said once more, "I'm the greatest batter in the world!" Then he tossed the ball up, swung and missed again.
"Strike Three!"
Then he looked in wonderment at the bat and ball for a moment and said, "Wow! I struck out the greatest batter in the world. I'm the greatest pitcher in the world!"
