do the right or correct thing each and every time. From the sport of baseball where the percentage of hits of the ball by the batter is kept in 3 figures (e.g., if a batter hit the ball fifty percent of his times at bat his percentage would be written .500 and would be said "five hundred" in the language of the sport). Thus for a person to hit 100 percent of the time (1.000) would be to bat "one thousand." —SHSBC Binder 13 Approved Glossary
