Colorado Springs Sky Sox hitting coach Rene Lachemann, best known for managing Mayaguez to a Caribbean World Series championship in 1978 (and maybe being involved in baseball for 46 years and, I believe, being the first major leaguer to wrestle with Satchel Paige during their time together with the Kansas City A's back in 1965) has a nice gimmick of giving a ball to the young ones before the Sox bat each inning. But in order to earn said ball the child must go through a traumatic interrogation.
Most kid's love it, but every once in a while one of them freaks a bit and 'Lach' takes it down a notch and talks the kid off the ledge.

DON'T BE LYING TO ME. UNDERSTAND?!

So find yourself some tickets to the outfield side of the Sox dugout, get them as low down as you can, and sit back and enjoy some fine baseball theater.
