User blog comment:TeamJacob98/Why does the Cullens need lightning 2 play baseball?/@comment-1642927-20100718055833

Because of the sound it makes when they hit the ball with the bat. It sounds like thunder. Thus if they did it when it wasn't a storm, somebody might get curious and see what the sound was. Course I gotta believe that Alice could see them coming. But the Cullens are unnecessary reckless if they don't have to be.
