I wonder why lots of girls throw like that. Is it something to do with anatomy? The wider hips, smaller waste, hourglass figure thing, and the lower upper body strength? Or, is it that they just don't ever learn to throw a ball?

If you ever watched Women's Fast Pitch you'll see they can throw the ball very well.

It must be that a lot of girls don't learn how to throw, then.

Note to self: teach daughter to throw a baseball. And, a football, for that matter.

The problem with baseball is that the games don't go on for long enough
"I grow old … I grow old …
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled"

AND MERRY XMAS TO ONE AND All!

Death is preferable to test cricket. Not that there's much difference...

I think we should form a Lingerie Baseball League, to match what the NFL did...
