New definition of a light hitter

White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle accused the Rangers of cheating at home, saying it's known around the league that the team signals pitches to its batetrs through a high-tech light system in center field. Here's how it works: If an off-speed pitch is called, the light flashes once; if the catcher sets up outside, the light flashes twice, and so on.

And then when the home team is pitching, the light beams continuously signal incoming batting practice fastballs.
