Of course. Can't wait.

I just saw the new scout achievements and was surprised at how many of them related to baseball (in lieu of the scout's new weapons). I know no-one cares, but I am posting them up anyway. From now on, I only play as a scout.

A Year To Remember (2004 Kills) - In 2004, Boston Red Sox win the world series for the first time since 1918. Also, the picture for the achievement is an adaption of the World Series trophy.

Beanball - Pitch thrown with the intention of hitting the player at-bat in the head.

Blocking the plate - Catcher/Backstop technique to prevent a run from scoring and buying time for the incoming throw.

Brushback - Type of pitch thrown close to batter, usually used to unnerve.

Caught Napping - Base runner tagged out because he had no idea what the fielders were doing.

Closer - More likely used as your closing portals, but a closer is a type of pitcher, who typically only comes in at the end of games.

Doctoring The Ball - Tampering with the ball for benefit.

Fall Classic - Another name for the World Series.

Foul Territory - Most should know what this is.

Gun Down - A play on the phrase Run Down in which a runner is stranded between two bases, and runs back and forth to try to avoid fielders with the ball. The fielders (usually basemen) toss the ball back and forth, to prevent the runner from getting to a base, and typically close in on him and tag him.

If You Build It - Line from the baseball movie 'Field of Dreams'

Round Tripper - Home run.

Side Retired - Three outs, you switch over.

The Big Hurt - Frank Thomas, DH from the 1990's.

The Cycle - Hitting a single (hit to First Base), a double (Hit to Second Base), a triple (Hit to Third Base) and a Home run in one game.

NB - I haven't finished the list, I just decided to stop for now and will add the rest later.
