THAT is the way pro sports should be played. Call it TRADITIONS but when you make drastic changes the games are not the same....PERIOD.....You can put horns on a horse and call it a bull BUT...it's STILL a horse. AND....Both leagues should have the same rules AND the same strike zone. Have you ever hear anything so ridiculous as different strike zones for each league,,,,,
AND...I haven't even mentioned inter-league play. THAT makes an equal and balanced schedule totally impossible. Yes, it MAY increase revenue (for TV) but that's all. The sanctity of the game of baseball is forever compromised. How I long for MY beloved baseball and miss it so dearly.....As Dom DiMaggio, beloved Red Sox center fielder of my youth, said....."That's when REAL baseball was played on REAL grass and there were REAL heroes, not drug users who could hit a baseball 500 feet or more. Heroes like Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams.....and so forth.......set the gold standard for all the youth of America to follow. The famous song of the 60's by Simon and Garfunkle says it all in his lamenting lyrics....."Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio...our nation turns it's lonely heart to you...boo hoo hoo."........(from Mrs. Robinson/"The Graduate")
NOW here comes the REAL sports season.....FOOTBALL, BASKETBALL and HOCKEY are bursting back on the sports scene.....I hope the Sox do well BUT...the game has still become boring.......
Follow this site for some GREAT happenings as the Celtics are just ONE MORE move away from starting another dynasty....and Danny Ainge is just the General Manager to do it for them. And I'll be here to tell you all about it with some predictions of my own and many recollections of the way Red Auerbach did it back when I was a kid and BOB COUSY was "Mr. Basketball."
And let's not forget about OUR Patriots.......Another SUPER BOWL is the big chant BUT, down low is the quiet wish for IMMORTALITY for THESE TOM BRADY led New England Patriots with the secret,locker room whispered objective... to MAKE history......(19-0)....Don't bet against it.
Stay tuned to THIS site as exciting things start happening almost daily........Pass it on
