Take Me Out to the Ball Game, Part 2

I know an advance person who often sets up small sound systems for press conferences. He uses gaff tape to secure the audio cords to the floor/ground so unsuspecting reporters and elected officials don't trip. After the pressers are over, it pains this advance person to throw away barely-used gaff tape, so he painstakingly pulls the tape off the floor and fashions it into gaff tape baseballs.

Pity the fool who walks into his office without paying attention. Gaff tape baseballs can be seen flying around in games of catch to help him and his co-workers blow off steam, particularly on a spring Friday afternoon like today.
