	Headhunter: Redemption (xbx: 2004): Reviews
		Headhunter: Redemption continues the gripping story of Jack Wade, a veteran Headhunter keeping order in a futuristic world overrun with unchecked consumerism, vicious organized crime and mind-controlling mass media.
		It is worth noting that Headhunter: Redemption is tough – whether that is down to problems with the game’s mechanics and controls or a deliberate design choice is up to you, but this game took endless hours to get through with many restarts and countless yells of fury.
		The combat in Headhunter: Redemption is as significant an advancement to the genre as Syphon Filter was when it first hit the PSone.

	Brushback pitch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In baseball, a brushback pitch is one thrown in such a way that the batter must move back to avoid it.
		While controversial, many people knowledgeable about baseball acknowledge that the brushback is an important part of pitching, and a part of baseball.
		However, there have always been some headhunters who attempt to hit the other player and give a general bad name to the inside pitch.

		Baseball will not resume talks with other cities until after Dec. 31, the deadline in the agreement for Washington to put a ballpark financing law in place.
		It remains unclear whether baseball would move the franchise to RFK Stadium on a temporary basis, remain at Montreal's Olympic Stadium or go to another city.

	[No title]
		Baseball's antecedents, primitive games of bat and ball played in England and Germany in the medieval period, in Mayan Mexico and the Egypt of the pharaohs, formed spring training for the earth and mankind.
		Through baseball we sublimate martial instincts; we emulate our heroes, whom we appoint as champions or surrogates for our hopes and fears; we experience thrills and agonies vicariously, and, in a magical act of transference, we become more truly ourselves.
		Baseball presents a living heritage, a game poised between the powerful undertow of seasons past and the hope of next day, next week, next year.

	ESPN.com - Page2 - The Headhunter vs. The Armadillo
		Anyway, baseball spent part of this week considering whether to suspend the best pitcher of our era for intentionally hitting the best hitter of our era.
		Baseball eventually decided no punishment was necessary, which was the correct choice.
		Baseball supposedly decreed that excessive armor would be banned this season, but for some reason, Bonds still steps into the box with what looks like an armadillo strapped to his right arm, daring anyone to give him a free base by nicking him on the armor.

		However, the one constant with all three grips is the position of the throwing hand on the side of the baseball itself.
		Therefore, the key to throwing a great curveball is in the position of the hand, not the position of the baseball in the hand.
		Because the pitch is diving straight downward, if the hitter misses his one chance to hit the baseball, he’s missed his chance to hit the ball, period.

	An Unofficial History of the Beanball
		The origins of baseball are hardly understood, let alone the genesis of a pitcher's ultimate weapon — the brushback pitch, and its' dirty cousin, the beanball.
		Despite the terrible death of Chapman, those in baseball realized that pitchers were going to throw near batters, and that batters would have to deal with the threat.
		Half a dozen players were killed in the minor leagues and amatuer baseball from 1956-1964, as a result of being hit in the head, despite wearing helmets.

	Headhunter: Redemption for PlayStation 2 Review - PlayStation 2 Headhunter: Redemption Review
		Developer Amuze's original Headhunter game was one of those few, random Dreamcast titles that, despite the handicap of not ever garnering a US release, still managed to attract a decent-sized cult following.
		It is, of course, entirely possible to make a plot like this interesting, but as Redemption jumps from one dull, drawn-out, and poorly written cutscene to another, it's quickly apparent that this story is going nowhere.
		Eventually you switch over to control Jack Wade, but the game tends to go back and forth a lot after that, and since both characters control almost identically, it doesn't add much variety to the game beyond presenting a different character model to stare at from a third-person view.

	MVP Baseball 2005 - GameCube (GC) Reviews - The Armchair Empire
		During the past few seasons, the EA Sports MVP Baseball series has done an excellent job of creating an experience that's both simple enough to offer casual fans an enjoyable few games on the couch, and deep enough to satisfy all of those statistics junkies out there.
		As players become more accustomed to the controls, the computer's actions are all easily overridden on the GameCube with the use of the C stick, which simplifies the most heroic outfield wall-climbing catch.
		All this, of course, is old hat to fans of the MVP Baseball series, as are the true to life rosters of every 30 Major League Baseball teams, as well as the realistic renderings of MLB's more than 1,000 players and the ballparks they currently play in.

		Hopefully, the pitchers on your baseball team have been throwing during the off-season to prepare for the regular baseball season that is right around the corner.
		As a baseball coach, you’d ideally like the emphasis of your pitchers and catchers workouts during those two weeks of “pre-practice pitchers and catchers camp” to be placed on pitching bullpens at close to full strength.
		And in 1994, way before the Wolforths and the Nymans of the world popped-up on the baseball pitching circuit with the phrase “scapular loading,” Thurston was teaching his baseball pitching students to “thrust their chest” during this particular phase of the baseball pitching delivery.

		A concurrence of factors have led to one of the greatest eras of offense in baseball history, of which steroids are probably a small part.

	Headhunter (ps2: 2002): Reviews
		As dishonoured Headhunter Jack Wade, you are hired by Angela Stern - daughter of the recently murdered head of the CAN - to discover the truth behind her father's death.
		Aside from a few camera quirks and some excessive load times, Headhunter is almost a perfect gaming experience from the opening movie to the closing credits.
		While Headhunter does well to borrow from games like "Metal Gear Solid 2" and the sort of comically futuristic world found in movies like Robocop, it falls short with it’s blandly typical story and constant cliché rip-offs that cheapen the experience.

	Random Thoughts: Headhunter Hit in Head
		So during yesterday's parade in Boston for the Red Sox someone threw a baseball at Pedro Martinez and it hit him in the head.
		Which is ironic considering his reputation around baseball as a headhunter, meaning he throws high and tight at opposing batters, coming too close to comfort to their heads and even occasionally hitting some guys.
		Maybe it was an accident throwing the ball at him but I don't know what goes through some people's heads.

	Why the Beamer is No Laughing Matter
		On one thing most cricketers agree: the deliberate headhunter or killer ball is beyond the bounds of acceptability.
		Indeed baseball, a sport in which the ball is delivered at a similar pace to that of Lee, consists of nothing but full pitches, and there does not seem to be too much trouble in hitting those into the bleachers.
		A baseball slugger knows where to look for the ball in such circumstance, while a batsman is programmed to search for and follow the path of the ball from hand and down into the surface of the pitch.

		We’d like to be all-inclusive, but time constraints meant that we had to make some selections for the initial roll-out of the Headhunter.
		Meanwhile, we’ve decided to let the Headhunter go ahead and find every reference to a particular team, no matter how tangential, and leave it up to the reader to decide whether it’s worth pursuing.
		Since the Headhunter pulls headlines from outside sources and tries to bring you as many relevant headlines as possible, it will naturally find more headlines for these teams than for teams that are covered by, say, one local paper, and not necessarily very well by that one.

		It was in 1920 that Ray Chapman was killed by a pitch from Carl Mays, and in 1936 Mickey Cochrane came close to dying after being struck by Irving "Bump" Hadley.
		No accusations were ever made, but pitches thrown around the head, called "chin music" or purpose pitches, always portrayed the dangerous side of baseball.
