OT-Where is todays BB thread?

[shadroch]

i just want to take a moment to salute the person or people who designed the BB diamond. It really is a work of genius. Whomever set the distance from home to first at 90 feet got it exactly right.Think how many infield hits are decided by a fraction of an inch. If the bases were 85 or 95 feet apart it would be an entirely different ballgame. Ninety feet is just perfect,and didn't evolve after years of tinkering,ala the NFL and kickoffs,it just was. Only the swiftest runners today can steal second, using a distance 130 years old.Same thing with the distance from the mound to the plate, Designed at a time when pitchers threw underhand,it still is a distance only the most talented hitters can get around on. Yes they have raised and lowered the mounds slightly over the years but it is still the same distance as its been for ages.

Salutations Mr Cartwright and Mr Doubleday.

Hey,Enjoy the game. Try to get there early for a tour of monument park. They close about an hour before gametime.

Hope youre not sitting in the bleachers.Best place to feel the game but no brew.

 

BTW- YANKEES WIN....... THE YANNNNKKKKEEEESSS WIN.

2 out of 3 from the Angels,6 of last 9,15 of 18.

Anything interesting happening elsewhere in the BB world?

Love the Yankees, can't stand John Sterling. A horrible announcer. Michael Kaye must be so happy to have gotten away from that buffoon.
