"If you ever see me on a baseball field with my fungo and there is a bucket of baseballs nearby, you better start running and get to the fence. Expect to stay there until the bucket is empty. If you are a catcher, then just stay where you are and look directly overhead. The ball will be right above your nose. Catch the ball. I am the Fungo Master."
