Hardball Meaning in Hindi

1. "Oppression is hardball. Though the range can vary, oppression is the closest Satan or his demons can get to a believer."

2. "Only I still had a problem. The problem was my parents. Of the many things I was afraid of in those days - spiders, insomnia, fish hooks, school dances, hardball, heights, bees, urinals, puberty, music teachers, dogs, the school cafeteria, censure, older teenagers, jellyfish, locker rooms, boomerangs, popular girls, the high dive - I was probably most afraid of my parents."
