  • Tom Terrific RIP

    From Lee Lofaso@2:203/2 to All on Thu Sep 3 14:50:58 2020
    Hello Everybody,

    Tom Seaver, one of baseball's all-time greats,
    has passed away at age 75. The Trump Virus killed
    him. May he rest in peace.

    Baseball is an international game. Not just played in the USA.
    Cubans love it. Japanese love it. Koreans love it. Venezuelans
    love it. Puerto Ricans love it. Even Canadians love it.

    Yes, it is an international sport. Baseball doesn't get much publicity, yet there are still at least 2 ball parks in this city of 100,000 people that I know of. I'visited both, though not for baseball - one was used as an open space for some marching practice, the other is adjacent to parkland used annually in local cross country races.

    Still, that pales in comparison to the number of soccer fields (several) or AFL/cricket (most are dual purpose) ovals, of which there are more than a
    ozen.

    ... So, this is me. Who am I?

    Sporting events without fans is not any fun for fans. Whether it is tennis, or football, or baseball, or any other sport. Same thing for music. How can one enjoy a music concert without fans? Just not the
    same without others there to share the experience.

    Huh? You've gone off on some tangent (I might want some of that shit you're smoking ;P ).

    All those big beautiful stadiums. With no fans allowed. Athletes
    competing live on television. With nobody around to cheer or boo.
    Except coaches and trainers.

    That's another issue, and one I don't care to discuss or be distracted by.


    ... If Pro is the opposite of Con then what is the opposite of Progress?
