There are some mysteries in life my Chicago Cubs friends that are never meant to be answered. They are mysteries wrapped inside a riddle wrapped inside an enigma. Like the Bermuda Triangle or where Jimmy Hoffa is buried, we will never know some things in life. So it is as well with the mysterious first-pitch in baseball.
Should he swing? Should he sit? What should the batter do? What is correct?
This is exactly what the Chicago Cubs have been facing lately, and the first-pitch has gotten many of the Cubs this season. Many grey beards like to pontificate on this very subject and can spend an entire day in both the barbershop and in online sports rooms chatting away about this very subject.
