Christ, what an A-hole.
So it was a “home run”…
Knuckleball?

I can hear the announcer saying “and this one’s going deep . . . IT’S GONE!”
I’d say it was a foul ball.
now that’s a fan!
did the surgical team sign the ball and now it is displayed in a glass box on the guy’s desk? cuz I just looked it up and that’s the definition of trufan (uh oh, I looked up that spelling and I’m not sure I like where this is going)
oh look at the time!

Looking forward to ‘roentgenogram’ being used on Murdoch Mysteries (though, I think the invention of that is much after the series’ period).

“There’s a round object in there? Huh. Well, now that you mention it, this might be related to something that happened earlier…”
