WHENEVER A BASEBALL PLAYER GOES ON OR OFF THE FIELD, HE
MAKES SURE HE TOUCHES EITHER THE 1ST OR 3RD BASE
FOUL LINE. IF HIS CLUB'S DUGOUT IS ON THE RIGHT
SIDE OF THE FIELD, HE TOUCHES THE 1ST BASE FOUL LINE,
IF THE DUGOUT IS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE FIELD,
HE TOUCHES THE 3RD BASE FOUL LINE. IT IS VERY BAD
LUCK FOR HIM TO RUN OVER THAT CHALK LINE WITHOUT
TOUCHING IT.
