I "struck out" the first batter I ever faced in Little League on one pitch. I usually played first base, but this game didn't count (the other team didn't have enough players show up, so we divided the kids who were there into two equal teams), so our coach let anyone who felt like pitching throw an inning. The first batter, a righty, stepped up, I threw a pitch with some funky tailspin on it that must've looked so fat and tantalizing as it swept away from the hitter, because he stepped out of the batter's box, over home plate, and into the other batter's box to swing at it. He missed and was called out for stepping out of the box. I rode the euphoria of my one-pitch punchout to a scoreless inning, but never pitched again.
