Sounds like something the Euros would do.

The other day I swung and missed at some rocks at the beach with a stick. I do not like baseball because I suck at it.

Back in the days before central heating the baseball fans would gather around a hot wood stove in the winter and talk about the Boys of Summer. That's the best explanation I've heard.

This 100% correct. BS'ing and standing around the old Potbelly in NY, Chicago, Philly et al. during the freezing winters months. There's some great photos from that time in Chicago and Canton. 1/2 of em' look like 'Bill the Butcher'.

I'm down with some Baseball starting back up. Mariners look to be roughly +5 over last year, which would get them the wildcard. Hope springs eternal this time of the year. Excuse me while I go put another log on the fire.... wink

Well then, I recommend you stop throwing hanging curve balls. Ricky Vaughn has more control.

But you are right. All of the mods, except maybe Garcia, are GIANT dripping Axe Wounds. That's their job. Fvckin' with you is just their lunch break.

My point was that playing baseball, especially hitting stuff with a stick, is a lot more fun than watching. I played a lot of baseball growing up. Dreamed of the big league, never been into watching.

Baseball is just different, and Jason hit part of it. First, you play it. There are still leagues (softball) for folks in their 60s, 70s, 80s, +++. How many over 80 basketball, football, or soccer leagues are there? It is a sport for life.

Baseball is made for radio, and listening while otherwise occupied. Used to listen to the WS while in school, and doing the school work. Listened to the M's while working. You can do both. The other "majors" require you to watch and be rather fully involved -along with eating and drinking. A game is a social event.

You can listen to baseball, especially with a good announcer, and know when it is time to pay attention.

What would make a good snowflake round? I'm thinking somewhere around a FMJ .003 caliber should be plenty of knock down power. <grin>

That should hit around 4500 fps.
