My youngest daughter plays on a 10-and-under boy's super league baseball team. They played in a tournament this week. In the first three games she was hit by pitches in every game. In one, the bases were loaded and her hit-by-pitch walk scored an RBI. I told her she had "RBI'd" a run and I was proud of her. She thought about it a while and asked, "What does RBI mean?" I said, "Run batted in." She replied, it should mean "Run by injury."
In the last game she hit a single and RBI'd 2 runs.

I noticed that the moms for the opposing teams all rooted for her when she was up to bat. The dads, however, were horrified that a girl was competing with their sons. I think she's doing a public service.
