The act of hitting a baseball is the most unteachable skill in all of sports, it is a rare gift and those who can do it with consistancy are a very rare commodity.

Funny... Someone else said the same exact thing to me about 8-9 months ago when I was ripping into him about baseball.

Baseball is a great sport which is why it has become our national pastime.

I'll never understand how people can sit at a baseball game and watch as 10 players are in a field waiting for something to happen? It's amazing how something as boring as baseball can amuse so many people.

As opposed to the gayist of all sports, soccer. A person could have no arms and be the greatest soccer player who ever lived. It is quite European I must say............

Soccer gay??? Come on... I don't even like soccer but these guys are incredible athletes! Constant action between two teams constantly moving. Now you wanna talk about a gay sport... Wrestling! Two guys rolling around on the floor with each other.

I'll crush yer windpipe for that last comment! You have crossed a line with me on that. It is one of the oldest sports in human history, the original submission sport, and one of the original Olympic sports. I will fucking end you, you hear me, damn you Carbaladhinejad. :)

I will not stand for this, Ivan Putski, Hulk Hogan, Jimmy "superfly" Snuka, Andre the Giant, the Samoans, Captain Lou Albano, Haystacks Calhoun etc. they weren't in the slightest bit gay and they could all kick Pele's ass and that homo Beckham as well, probably even in one of those two on one handicap match's. As for the fake stuff called Olympic Wrestling, it is polluted with nothing but a bunch of $3 bills. Two grown men in tights, grabbing, holding and sweating all over each other is gay, regardless of how good of physical condition they are in. Also, I don't get the whole weight class thing either. It just gives the faggy little men a chance to compete, I guess. Why don't they have weight classes for running races as well, to give the big man a shot?

You missed quite a few although did include a few of my all time favorites. How about Greg "The Hammer" Valentine (that's just gay in itself), Leeping Lenny Popo, The British Bulldogs, Jessie Ventura, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Randy "Macho Man" Savage (ooooooh Yeahhhhh), Black Jack Mulligan, Chief Stronbo, Fugi and the other guy... You can't leave these guys out! Jimmie Hart, Jee whiz you forgot your own favorite, the JYD.

I have to disagree that wrestling isnt a sport. Which one of you has ever watched Bugs Bunny vs the Crusher wrestling match. Who among you are brave enough to actually fire yourself out of a cannon or a bow and arrow....Yeah thats what I thought:)

My favorite bar none was Sgt. Slaughter, I still get a tear in my eye when I think back on the evening about 25 years ago when i saw him win the Inter - Continental Championship in a winner take all 21 man over the top rope battle royale, in the Brendan Byrne Arena. It came down to two men, Sgt. Slaughter and Kamala the Ugandan Giant (reminds of a female teller that served me last week in East Orange). After sarge dispatched kamala by tossing him over the top rope, sarge then grabbed the microphone away from the ring announcer and led the sell-out 19,ooo plus standing crowd in a pledge of allegiance salute to old glory, this is what the human drama and thrill of athletic competition is all about.

For the record, that teller could easily kick my ass, my fear would be that it wouldn't stop there, I think she may be a cannibal. I know somewhere in her family tree more than one person was.
 
Hi,

How about the physics of the cast? Science!

The best part about it is that it can be whatever you want it to be and enjoyed at any level.

Get out of the city while you can, TT. If you are forced to spend any amount of your time in places like East Orange... Well, life is too short, especially for fly fishers.

Star Tavern's World Famous Pizza bro, every bit worth spending time there.

If one HAS to be in East Orange, maybe.

I'd eat stale bread smeared with beef tallow if I could be hip deep in an upstate river the rest of my life INSTEAD of places like EO.
 
Trust me FF, the pizza at Star Tavern is really that good. It's a little differnt than typical NY neapolitan pizza though as the crust is even thinner. The sauce is outstanding.

One problem, Star tavern is in west orange, not east orange, two very very different places, yet very close to each other. and yes, star tavern makes outstanding pizza. I'd have to say the difference between East and West Orange is like black and white......
