Unbelievable

The use of unbelievable belongs in the category of trite and over used expressions. This is especially true among sports reporters. Case in point, with his back to the fence the center fielder leaps five feet into the air, arches his glove hand over the wall and robs the hitter of a home run. “Unbelievable!” shouts the baseball announcer. Too improbable for belief? Hardly, its what he is supposed to do. Besides we saw it with our own eyes - its fantastic but believable
