WORD OF THE DAY

"HAMMY," otherwise known as "Ham Bone," "Ham Dog" or, in severe cases, "The Hammer."

A painful, and sometimes debilitating injury resulting from not stretching before attempting to "launch bombs" or "hit lasers" on the softball diamond. Injuries usually occur when bombs fail to launch or lasers fail to fire, resulting in a mad, "cold-legged" dash for first base on the dribbler hit to the second baseman, or, er, second base..person.

Hammys can strike at any moment so please help your teammates keep a close eye on their impending advance.
