Baseball is a game for statisticians...that said, I do like it. Always have, since listening to games on my bedroom 5 tube radio back in the 50's. Heros with names like Yogi Berra, Willie Mays, Stan Musial, Hank Sauer, and others...
May the game continue...

Sports needs more gentlemen like Bobby Jones. Played golf wearing a tie, and did things like this:
Bobby Jones, 1925 U.S. Open The situation: On a greenside chip from a steep bank, Jones' ball moved ever so slightly just before impact. The penalty: Rule 18-1 poses this question and answer: "Q. A ball lying in long grass slips vertically downward. Or a ball is accidentally stepped on and pressed down, say a quarter of an inch, in the grass or into the ground. In each case, has the ball moved? A. Yes, unless the ball returns to its original position. The direction of movement is immaterial." The result: Even though nobody else saw the ball move, Jones called a 1-stroke penalty on himself. Because of this, he failed to win the tournament outright, instead dropping into a playoff with Willie Macfarlane, which he lost in 36 holes. |
