Karl: "How do you account for the exact same use of what you call “simply a
metaphorical borrowing of "strike" in baseball” found in other Germanic
languages where they don’t have baseball for a metaphoric source?



Jerry: Simply a parallel phenomenon.   Or perhaps the phrase "ein Strich
gegen" is a borrowing from English usage.



Blessings,



Jerry
