What kind of Christian baby? If it's Pentecostal I'll hit it out of the park, but a New Southern Reform Anabaptist baby? No way!

I love that there is also the distinct possibility of non-Christian babies up there on the mound, with the pitcher as well.

What happens if the pitcher throws a baby of a different faith? Infield fly rule that leads to a game ending double play?

Some baseball scholars consider any contact between the bat and a Hindu, Sikh or Buddhist baby to be foul bunt, and therfore an automatic strike. A Scientologist, Church of Latter Day Saints or Jehova's Witness baby on the other hand is considered a fair ball unless caught in flight with runners on first, first and second, first and third, or bases loaded (with less than two out).
