I have never considered the word "fisted" to be a common baseball term so when a professional announcer says this incessantly, it's like mega-distracting. What does this even mean? I played ball for quite a few years and I don't think I ever "fisted" anything.
Is Chip Caray too big that Buck Martinez can't tap him on the shoulder or a producer can't talk into his earpiece? Better yet, let's put him on some "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" style shock therapy where he is wired and gets a progessively bigger shock every time he says the word "fisted." You know it would work, real quick. Ask Pavlov's dog.
I want to hear him say that Ryan Howard "fisted" a home run. Think it's not possible?
Nepotism blows.
(This unimaginative guy just said it again; top of the 6th inning. I can't keep up)

I'm sure if his Grandfather ever said "fisted" on the air, it had nothing to do with baseball. I promise you that!
When composing this post, I wondered how long a thread on a post with the word "fisted" could stay on point.
I also expected my hit meter to go way up but it hasn't much. I probably should have put it in the title.
