The coach sets a tee-up and then you put a ball on it. Then you hit the
ball off the tee and you run to the bases.

Centerfield.

No, because you dont get the ball very much.

First. 'Cause., .there's a runner running over to first and if you catch
the ball...you get the ball a lot.

Against the Mets, when I was up hitting homeruns, When the Mets were up,
they kept throwin' the bats, and when we were up we kept on hittin'
homeruns. Their coach didn't tell them not to throw the bats.

You're automatically out.
