V

visiting team

A team playing in another team's home stadium is the "visiting team"—or the "visitors". The visiting team bats in the top half of the inning. A fabled sign at Tiger Stadium on the visitor's clubhouse read "No Visitors Allowed".

VORP

vulture

A reliever who records wins in late innings by being the pitcher of record in the midst of a comeback.^[2]
