In a wide world sports column John Heydler explains that hitters chase balls early and take aggressive swings on 2-0 and 3-0 counts. The piece notes anecdotes from boxing and horse racing circles, a no hitter by Eugene Green, and a ground rule at West Point as humor and sport blend in a May roundup.
