I have a couple of stories about strikeouts.
#1: We had a neighbor that used to plow at night. When he had to make a new strike out one night, he hung a lantern on the neighbor's clothes line so he could line up from the other end of the 1/2 mile field and make a new strikeout.

When I got to the field, I couldn't even see the other end of the 1/2 mile field, let alone sight on something a mile away. I got razzed and chewed out both about that strike out! (I've forgotten the girl, but not that strike-out.)
