Dark eyes reveal great valiance, in padded silence you tread the path of pride; inner strength perceived in stance. Insight you freely confide and forever will you be my spirit guide.

It's why the catchers wear mitts that are bigger when knucklers do the pitching: the balls zig and zag with fits or do some odd-ball hitching though the batters can still see the orbs' stitching.
