@eurocelticyankee,
Some might say Adam West or Kevin Conroy from the animated series.

@eurocelticyankee,
All my family are from Yorkshire, when we were last there the kid thought I was taking the piss out of their accents, but it wasn't me. They do talk like someone taking the piss out of them, well they do in Goole anyway.

@edgarblythe,
Isn't he called a batter, not a batsman?

@edgarblythe,
Sorry, from what little I know of baseball I thought they were referred to as batters, but I'll bow to your superior knowledge.

A baseball player only has to face a maximum of 3 balls per innings, that's half an over. In the watered down 20/20 matches 120 balls are bowled per side, for one day matches it's 80 overs and test matches are something else entirely. You can't really judge a batsman unless he's spent the best part of a day, or even longer, at the crease.

@edgarblythe,

hitters aren't called batsmen, but fielders are called basemen...

@izzythepush,
I'm no expert. But, batter works as well.

Learner's definition of BATSMAN
[count]

And whatever's left over can be used on a nice bit of cod.

@healthexperts7,
Since this is not limited to American players, I never saw a more dramatic player than Bela Lugosi.

I'm sure the late Mr Babe Ruth owned several bats at any one time. That would qualify him as some sort of batsman, wouldn't it?
