I say walk the batter and set up the double-play but that
will be confusing to the non-US participants.
I have heard people declare that they have no interest in
reading a PI novel that is not in the first person. More than
once I've recommended a novel and been asked if it's first
person, said yes, and gotten the "only first person"
statement. It takes all kinds.
The great Fred Brown wrote one novel with four or five
different first person viewpoints and another novel with nine
or ten third person viewpoints. He often experimented with
the form. The results varied but he was seldom boring and
when he got it right, wow.
