"Believe it or not, at one time batters could order the kind of pitch they wanted, either high or low. Imagine telling a pitcher, 'I'll have a meatball, and while you're at it, add a gopher ball, and I'll finish with a lollipop.'"
* meatball - an easy pitch to hit
* gopher ball - a pitch that will 'go fer' a home run
* lollipop - a slow pitch that is easy to hit
