The Snake slithered his last comeback but true to character, he didn't tell anybody

"Great plan, John ! ...

... but that's not what I'm gonna do"

The last time a group of live human beings was seen in professional sports (in the US, at least) ..

Stabler and fundamentalist christianity, the two poles of existence

There was nothing like being a raiders fan in those days, and has been nothing like it since ... "Oh good, we're ten points down and two minutes to play. We won ! We won !" 99% of the time, we had.

He'd take time in the middle of a double overtime playoff game to gaze into the stands, say, "Fans sure are getting their money's worth today, eh John ?"

In this day of plastic fantastic athaletes, Kenny was real to the very marrow of his bones ...

I watched a game of baseball yesterday, Red Socks vs NY Yankees (I think).. jeeze, does anyone actually hit a ball without it being a foul?

Not knocking the game, but it does seem comparable with our game of Cricket!

Perhaps you meant to say ' doesn't seem comparable'...

Compared to Baseball, Cricket (in particular Test Cricket) is so much better as a game it's not even a contest

Fixed that for you

There is one interesting aspect to baseball, though - the mental contest between the batter and pitcher. I don't believe cricket players throw the ball at 98 mph ?

You'd be wrong. Cricket balls from fast bowlers typically go at around 90mph and can exceed 100mph from the fastest bowlers ( linky ). There is also a lot of mental psychology going on between the players as the bowler tries all manner of tactics and different types of delivery to outwit the batsman and take his wicket.

Baseball has better music.
