I don't get the big deal about eye black. Let the kids have some fun.

Good Carl reference. And I agree. It would be a sh**house play either way.

He deviated when they were on the ground and so was the ball. At the 7 second point that ball was nowhere near the protected fielders and was almost to the plate. This is when his deviation started. I will admit I'm a die hard Cardinals fan, but not when watching this. I can't see how this wasn't obstruction. Still what is going on with Roycroft?

Neither do I.

Since they hadn't actually left the field I thought they did the right thing by pulling out the pen and paper and taking down numbers. Now, what I do think was stupid was to hop in the middle of it trying to stop that dumb ass student who was running on the field looking to make a name for himself. What if that kid was packing or took a swing at the umpire? That was dumb.

Rose bet on baseball, including on teams he managed, and lied about it for years. I would imagine he was gambling on baseball games when he was a player and would deny that. And I would wager that he actually did bet on his teams to lose. Put in the wrong pitcher, make an error, etc. Maybe if he had come clean about all of it the MLB possibly may have removed the ban. Maybe not.

In the middle of typing a message to Derek inquiring as to what the hell leevopeeled is I figured it out. You can't put anything past, oh shi, shiny object, is that a squirrel?

And thanks for posting. It is making a good conversation piece.

There is no camera angle that could make it seem that F4 had a chance to field this hit.

From what I see on the video that ball was past F3 and F4 had no chance to field that ball. Unless he is faster that a speeding bullet. The F3 was pointing because he was trying to get a call from U1. Guarantee F3 does not know the rule.

Other than the fading, they were awesome. And you can easily fit 16 baseballs in them and they won't fall out.

I've tried that and it didn't work for mine.

I liked mine, but I live in the Coachella Valley which has some brutal sun. It caused them to fade quite a bit. I tried dying them in the off season, but it didn't work and I gave them away to a returning umpire. I now use some SSK bags.

I have to say I really like my West Vest. But, again, that eating paste and paint chips thing.

He ate paste and paint chips as a child.
