MYTH: The double play is the pitcher's best friend.
I do agree that the double play is a very good friend of the pitcher. The double play is the guy that a pitcher can always count on, but that he sees too much of every now and then. Sometimes, the pitcher gets mad that the double play always wants to go to T.G.I. Friday’s instead of going to the new, hot, salsa dance club. The double play is the pitcher’s best friend in his hometown. But every man has that best friend that has since moved away – that REAL best friend – that comes back once every few years and makes it seem like old times. For the pitcher, that best friend is named the triple play.
