What does FB stand for?

If there's a guy on first base and I get a pop-up, or a shallow fly ball, I'm not going to be upset because I didn't get a ground ball.

Polanco followed with a fly ball to center and Raburn scored standing up.

But Brindley rallied for three runs in the seventh, including the equalizer on a two-out fly ball that should have forced a deciding game.

My brother's tongue on the roof of his mouth cracked line drives over second and long fly balls that curved just foul, his voice rising and falling through quick five pitch innings and elaborate rallies started by Ashburn's walk or Reese's bunt that Jones let roll dead on the line.

If someone catches a fly ball, everybody talks about it afterward.

The fielders get points for catches as follows: * fly ball caught in the air--100 points * ball caught on the first bounce--50 points * other bounces and grounders--25 points 4.

After it seemed that winter was winning, that the ground would remain hard and white, nothing living, spring came up to bat, laid a bunt down the third-base line, and suddenly there were violets in the infield and peepers chanting steal steal steal steal while the sky softened to robin's egg, lamb's wool, air like a cotton jersey on your neck, and look, summer's up on deck, and the bases are full, high fly ball deep in the tall grass of centerfield, in the long shadows, over the fence -- it's gone.

The need to track a fly ball continuously while keeping in proper position relative to its flight occasionally causes outfielders to crash into fences or each other, they note.
