texas leaguer

baseball term: a basehit that lands in the outfield between the infielders heading out and the outfielders heading in - probably from the old days when people believed texas minor league fields were large and had no home run fences (or very deep outfields) so the outfielders would play deeper to prevent long hits and give up singles in front of them

With Barry Bonds' knees the way they are these days, he's going to see a lot of Texas Leaguers falling in front of him.
