I imagine choking a chicken or coking up on a bat are similar.
Do people in professional sports even do fun drugs anymore? It seems like they swapped happy drugs for blood doping and steroids a decade ago. Zzzz...
I imagine choking up/clenching the bat is a emotional response deeply embedded in the resecess of consciousness, Where man feels the need to masterbate, in order to practice the unique moment when man has a chance to continue his genetic code. That might be stress.
