more on the "pop fly" baseball term used to describe the act of the beekeeper
who is running after a swarm banging pots....

You have to get a visual image in your mind of the ball in the air, and two
(or more players) all looking UP at the ball, running under it. If no one
yelled "I've got it" you would have a collision of two or more players who
run into each other (since they're only looking up) in the attempt to catch
the ball.  It fits nicely with the idea of a beekeeper, who is running madly
under the swarm, not looking where he is going, as his/her eyes are only
looking UP.
