Well, the baseball pitching game we got our Smurf was a huge hit, and sure enough, also gave me a nice sore arm, though thankfully it's not bothering me today. The gift did present an unanticipated challenge: If you buy a game for a youngster, it helps if it doesn't require more skill to lose than to win... the spots to hit for strikes and outs on the game are much larger than the spots for hits and such, so I needed some pinpoint control to give up enough homeruns to lose.
