Back to my favorite sport: Baseball.


Batting A Thousand: To have a perfect record, good or bad. From baseball scoring system, 1.000 being a perfect batting average.

After making the Dean's list for her third straight semester, she felt like she was batting a thousand.

I would probably sign this: FEEL "thumbs=up" or FEEL PERFECT.
Go To Bat For: To help out in trouble or need, to give aid to. From the baseball convention of sending up a pinch hitter when the team is in need of runs, to replace a pitcher who is tiring or a player who is injured.

I was really worried the boss was going to fire me, thanks for going to bat for me.

This one is a little tougher, but I would probably sign SUPPORT.

ASLpro.com has these signs, although I prefer PERFECT to not be initialized.

Remember, if you would choose a different sign, feel free to comment. I will approve them all, as long as they are real people, not spambots.
