A great catch is like watching girls go by the last one you see is always the prettiest.
The unit at the University Hospital of North Tees has had pounds 10m spent on refurbishment over the last few years and to try and replicate this anywhere else would be absolute madness.
Everything is done to increase hitting and not help pitching. I think I'd take them to court if I was still playing. The same thing wins games now, though. If you don't have pitching, you don't win.
