[net.nlang] Baseball Retronym

poppers@aecom.UUCP (Michael Poppers) (04/24/85)

(-:
	Before (by the good graces of L. MacPhail and others) night baseball
came into existence, the "daylight play" represented picking a runner off
when there was daylight between him and the base (bag, for all baseball
fans).  Nowadays...well, just call it the "'Gotcha!" from now on.
