I'm not talking about when the batter hits the ball fowl. Btw I like your idea for the practice rounds Nicol. ----- Original Message ----- From: "nicol" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Audyssey Blind gaming Gamers discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, February 06, 2007 9:25 PM Subject: [Audyssey] jim's baseball game > Hi all > I enjoy the baseball game a lot.
