Back in ye olden times, sportswriters often indulged in flowery, over-the-top descriptions when writing about sporting events.
It wasn't enough for a baseball player to hit the ball. Rather, they slugged the screaming rocket with a jarring crack and sent it flying halfway to Jupiter. They didn't play a night game at a ballpark. They played on a lush expanse of verdant green, as the sun slipped below the horizon and the shadows seemed to stretch out taller than the outfield wall,
Anyway, all I'm saying is that if we ever choose to revive that style of writing, I would love to see it applied to this sport.
