Metaphor vs. strategy

[edit]

   This distinction was first discussed at what is now Talk:Inside Baseball (strategy)#Metaphorical usage.

I removed this unsourced paragraph and placed it here for comment:
"The origin of this metaphor is unofficially disputed at this time. Possible origins include: 1. a television show or radio broadcast discussing in depth nuances and details of the game, the players, and the culture of baseball. 2. a style of play that emphasizes using smaller less risky tactics rather than more risky efforts. Such a style of play is less visible to the untrained eye and less interesting to a casual observer. (though this is known formally as "Small Ball" and doesn't make sense for the Inside Baseball metaphor)" - Bevo (talk) 20:50, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
