Some would say that keeping track of how many times different people have swatted little balls over the fences of certain lawns under certain circumstances, and then reporting it as news when one man exceeds the total of another in accomplishing this, is itself colossally childish.
However, if we accept the premise that major-league home-run records (and the rest of the sports entertainment package) are worth caring about at all, then I don't see why it's petty for someone to use a ball in a statement about that feeling.
