“Vowels were something else. He didn't like them, and they didn't like him. There were only five of them, but they seemed to be everywhere.

Consonants, you knew pretty much where they stood, but you could never trust a vowel. To the old pitcher, they were like his own best knuckle ball come back to haunt him. In, out, up, down - not even the pitcher, much much less the batter, knew which way it would break. He kept swinging and missing.”
