The Fisted Chronicle: April 16, 2010.

The memetic genesis of the phrase "fisted" in the baseball lexicon begins with TBS's broadcast of the 2009 one-game playoff for the American League Central Division between the Detroit Tigers and the Minnesota Twins, in which velour-voiced play by play announcer Chip Caray insisted on stating that all base hits hit to the shallow part of the outfield, generally known as "dying quails", had been "fisted".

He continued on this Bataan Death March of unwitting double entendre by continuing to refer to hits of this nature as being "fisted" throughout the postseason. The internet, as they will, found this to be hilarious. It was as if Jayson Werth's Hot Mom had grown a beard.

Unfortunately, TBS decided to shatter the hearts of the Internet Baseball Community (hereby to be referred to as the IBC intermittently, really just whenever I remember that I declared it to be an official acronym.) by firing Caray. Screw those guys.

But on April 16, 2010, Comcast SportsNet's Tom McCarthy, okayish announcer for the Philadelphia Phillies got a wild hair up his ass and decided to call that a Juan Castro RBI single had been "fisted". It was a wonderful occasion that made this blogger want to cry.

To commemorate this wondrous event, I've decided to create this web log (Haven't seen that shit since 2005, have you?) to encourage all other baseball announcers to utter this insane phrase whenever mediocre middle infielders squeak out a dribbler for their employers.
