pretending one is asleep or dead. Otherwise I think we would say "fox" or "sly
fox".</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Book Antiqua" size=2>The equivalent of the googly in
baseball is the screwball. The screwball curves the "wrong" way. A good pitcher
can baffle an opposing batter with it. However, few pitchers throw it because of
the damage it does to the arm. A right-handed pitcher must spin his wrist
to the left as he releases the ball. A natural release would be to the
right.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Book Antiqua" size=2>If a person is called a screwball, he
is just really weird. I guess he spins or curves the wrong way!</FONT></DIV>
