A Strange Epidemic

8% of baseball players cannot focus without amphetamines. They look aimlessly around the dugout while they wait to bat. They look at the grass and the fans when they are on the field. They think about the last conversation they had, and the fan in the green shirt. They rotely slump into position as the next pitches. Fortunately these players take prescription speed before games so that they don't have an unfair disadvantage, and y'know, just to get by. One time I was to this party with a lot of major league baseball players, and I kept having really short conversations with them. As I left I felt like I had spent the night watching TV.
