Fact, I could never hit a fastball, so that does go to support your theory.

As for baseball itself, I enjoy the game but it has taken a big hit especially with the entire steroids issue. My point was this is just another reason for me not to like or support MLB. From my perspective as what I would consider a “fringe” baseball fan it is now a worthless sport, just like the NHL or MLS.

What I find ironic is the tolerance baseball purists have for the poor management of league and its image. Baseball fans talk big about how pure the sport is and the history of the stats associated with America’s pastime. Yet, very few of them are willing to hold their sport accountable and admit it has some serious problems, let alone realize its irrelevance in America today. Sorry to speak the hurtful truth, but It is a dying game.

In regards to my Jr. Jazz career, it was quite illustrious. I think my number 15 jersey is hanging in the rafters at Hilcrest High School to this day.

This is meant in good will and not necessarily directed at you.

I almost always find that those who criticize baseball never could hit a fastball, don’t really understand the game like they think they do, and “played a year or two of little league” only to give it up for a luxurious career in the Jr. Jazz organization.

The NFL is even crazier. Some make between one million and two million per game. Granted the physical demands aren’t apples to apples, but 6-7 games per week in baseball to the NFLs one per week (with a bye in there somewhere) and then the NBAs 15 or so per month…

I don’t get how Giambi is making $23MM.
