Default Re: Lee and LC: Home Runs and Strikeouts

Unfortunately the biblical caveats surrounding this verse have gone unheeded in the LC's. II Timothy 2.16, 22 come to mind. Matthew 7.21-22 are also pertinent.
Don't forget Exodus 20:7 where many of the LC abuses this practice as a mere expression like laughter, ridiculing, etc. in God's name.
