Original rfv was byuser:Connel MacKenzie 2006-06-09T12:00:08. RFV is for sense 4 --> (colloquial) A ball. Perhaps this should be merged with sense 6 (ball again, but specific to baseball?) I can't seem to dig up any hits that aren't baseball related.Jeffqyzt 05:49, 17 August 2006 (UTC)I have changed the definition to a US slang: Abaseball. Do we not think thatthe pill should have its own entry?Andrew massyn07:09, 16 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

I did not think the use of the word for a baseball was "archaic" since it is in current use and there is a quotation from 2002. I removed the tag.Wastrel Way (talk)04:25, 1 March 2024 (UTC)EricReply
