What I want to know, is where does the actual phrase bat 0.500 come from. To make myself better understood - I have never heard anybody use that phrase in real life.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Baseball. You bat .500, meaning you hit half of you presences in front of the pitcher, and you get striked out the other half of the time. Sorry, I only know the french names for baseball rules, so I can't be more precise... but you get the idea.
