One day, a young boy took his bat and ball to the park and all alone he would toss the ball up, swing, and miss. This went on for some time, always with the same result ... ball up, and straight down to the ground ... swing and miss.
Finally, it seemed that the young lad had given up but while leaving, a spectator who had witnessed the futility, noticed that the boy had a Cheshire Cat sized grin on his face.
When asked why he was so smitten with himself, the lad replied "I just found out that I'm one heck of a pitcher!!"
