...memory erased and his mind reprogrammed to "uphold the law," hits the streets of the city's crime-ridden districts. A combination of the Terminator, Dirty Harry and a Campbell's soup can, Robocop shoots with pinpoint accuracy, deflects bullets like an armored car, and handles his machine-gun sidearm like a cowboy...

The Arnold family went home happy: Father Leonard managed a grounder, Son Larry stroked a solid single, and twin Gary struck out Banks on a sidearm change-up.

...compensate, Cuccia does not pass from the pocket but rather throws on the run, moving left, moving right, backward, forward, underhand, sidearm and even (twice this year) left-handed. Nobody questions his arm ("I've seen him pinpoint guys 55 yards downfield in practice," says running back Scott McCabe), but his effectiveness throwing long is another matter...
