Author Topic: Nationals @ Pirates, Game 1 (Read 7460 times)

I heard that story so many times that I finally checked it out years ago. I drove the route from the old house to the school.

There WAS a long hill that was about a 90 degree angle. So they DID go uphill, both ways, (although it also included a steep downhill both ways.) That was a brutal walk.

One of the old guys said that he went home for lunch every day, so he did it 4 times per day.

They all jog to first when it’s routine. Let it go.

We did it in the snow. BTW I did walk home for lunch.

Never understood that. Of all the sports, baseball is BY FAR the least taxing on your body. Run the damn 90 feet.

Because we’ve never seen injuries on players running full speed to first base...

That's actually pretty hard. Those freaking things dive and swerve strangely...tennis requires a big area but balls pretty much do what one would expect a round body to do under the various physical forces at work. And jogging to first base looks lame.

Why did we pinch hit for the guy who has 3 hits tonight?
