[edit] The Baseball Story Arc

Bill Watterson drew a story arc featuring baseball. In it, Calvin is tormented by the other boys after he doesn't join the baseball team. Because of this, Calvin decides to join the school baseball league. He does, reluctantly. After he and his dad arrive at home, Calvin's dad takes Calvin out to the backyard to practice batting. Calvin's dad throws a grounder, which then bounces off the ground and hits Calvin in the nose, giving him a nosebleed. The next day, at school, Calvin is playing with his team against another team. Calvin, busy in one of his Spaceman Spiff fantasies does not notice that the opposing team is up to bat. He catches the ball, and send one of his own team members out. After the other team members tease him for the catch, he quits the team.
