Monday's Hypothetical Question

A friend confesses to you that he likes to unwind by spending a couple nights a week at an area batting cage. You don't think much of this statement since hitting some baseballs is a decent way to unwind after a long day with one's nose to the millstone. Said friend then adds conspiratorially that he's not down there actually swatting leather spheres about but fondling the freshly used bats as "the ambient warmth on the carved ash hilts" really make his "Charlie Hustle."

Do you recoil in disgust at this eccentric fetishism

OR

Giggle at the use of Pete Rose's nickname in reference to his Old John Thomas?
