Reminds me...
Back when I was in HS my Jr. year I had study hall and then a teachers assistant role for my last two...that lead into practice. It was a PE asst role so I was playing sports and getting credit.
Now, we were using baseball bats for softball games until Coach brought in a softball bat. I could line a drive with the baseball bat...but the fence came into reach with the softball bat. We were playing on the soccer field where the width was right at 70 yards. Add another 14-18 for the fence...it was a shot.
You are right...good call.
