Guaranteed Success

Dad usually comes straight from work to Pete's baseball games. It seems that he usually arrives just in time to miss Pete's first at bat of the game. Which is about half of his hitting, since Pete usually ends up batting once more.

At the last game, Dad rolled up just after Pete got a triple. Pete was standing on third, and the Coach signaled Dad with three fingers. Dad knew this meant that he had just missed Pete getting a triple.

Dad e-mailed Coach that if the team ever needs a critical hit in the playoffs, he can put Pete up to bat and Dad will go drive around the parking lot.
