When you face off against a guy named Homer, you should inherently hold the advantage. Same goes for whenever Grant Balfour enters a game. They have no place on a pitcher mound. Their parents willed it this way. The fact they found their way onto the bump should do nothing more than activate some form of a sacrificial seance. Hitters, pop those mouth guards out. Today, you’re eatin’.
That was not the case.
We interpreted Mr. Bailey’s name all wrong. In fact, Homer Bailey is pitcher designed specifically for the obnoxious fan. That fan who fans their fandom no matter what.
