Chief, you know why.  Guys like Gibson, Drysdale, Sam McDowell, etc would flip him at his next at bat.

I really don't understand the allure of days when one guy would beat another guy and we'd cheer when the beaten guy threw a small hard object at the winning guy to "get even".

Morneau's summation after the final out of a 13-3 loss: "No breaks" 

LOL LOL LOL

Or maybe he was actually saying "no brakes," as in there's nothing stopping this car-on-fire-going-downhill that is this season? Either way, impressive excuse making.   

Mechanic: "Sorry, I couldn't fix your brakes, so I made your horn louder "

Sort of like when Juan Marichal took a bat to John Roseboro's head because the return throw to the pitcher was too close....ahhh, those halcyon days gone by

American Legion ball is fun. There are some cool stadiums in Mn to have a close up seat. My car took a foul ball to the hood two summers ago while at a game in Marshall. The dent was worth it. Great fun.

True. I spent Wed night at a VFW double header. Gorgeous night. First row. Shade. And decent baseball for that age. They stole bases, bunted, squeezed,, and hustled.  I have become to believe the “T” in Twins stands for TiVo!
