I don't wish him to do badly. I would be happy for him if he did well. Root? I don't know. He's on a rival team and to root for him is like rooting for the Eagles. 🦅 I'll say ambivalent.

We have had topics on all sorts of things, so I saw this and thought it would be a good start to lines we remember from favorite TV shows and maybe some of these lines will bring back some good memories of past shows.

I hope he gets stuffed at the line of scrimmage for the rest of his touches by the hand of God career.

These were before my time; however, I have the Chris Schenkel-narrated highlight films for both and they were tough games played in bone-chilling conditions.

If you can remember back in 1985, when the Giants made the playoffs, both games were featured in the introduction to the CBS Intro of the actual telecast narrated by the great, legendary CBS commentator, Pat Summerall.

Here is the Wild Card game:


Still miss Pat and John on CBS - the Gold Standard of football broadcasting.

Peace!

Not really that interested.

I love them!!

Quote from: Bill Brown on May 20, 2024, 06:54:44 PMI watched the 4th episode of the Disney story. Again I found it to be very interesting. A couple of "Wow I didn't know that!" things. I hope you're still watching Lenn.

For anyone who hasn't seen it but may some day I would recommend you watch episode 4 before episode 3.

Bill

 I did see it Bill and like you, WOW, I didn't know that. And, like you, we wondered why they put last week's episode before this one as the timeline would have been better.

PS-- mI used to have one of those Mickey watches. Wish I still did.       

So my two prime students are really on the ball.

Yes, the pitching rubber is part of the field. If the ball hits the rubber to be a fair ball it must pass 1st or 3rd before going foul. Since it didn't, yes, it is a foul ball.

In the second question, this is a bit trickier. The situation isn't common, as Steve alluded to, but it has happened, white a bit more than one would think.

The key to this is intent, and that is all on the umpire. If, like every other hit, the batter just drops his bat, then the bat is part of the field, and if a ball hits it, it is legal and a live ball. If, in the umpire's judgment, the batter threw his bat and that hit the ball, then the batter would be called out and the play dead. In most cases, the batter will usually drop his bat as he runs towards 1st base. If the ball hits the bat, then it is still alive and the play goes on.

We used to teach in our school, that the best way to see this is if the ball hits the bat, then it is usually unintentional and allow the play to continue. If the bat hits the ball, then we call the batter out and everyone goes back to previous bases.
