{{ugliest thing i ever saw on a baseball field}}

FOLKS!

it is, has always been and remains...

Baseball begins with a battle betwixt the pitcher and the hitter.

as the "wild thing" prophetized on mlb net

a hurler is going to die on the field of play

he is only 60 feet six inches away...

{only 1  has ever died on the fields of the game that abner doubleday didn't event-

ray chapman}

hit in the head by a thrown pitch {carl mays}

PS: hmmm

destiny has her way of evening things out...

We shall see what we shall see...

Batter  Up!

Play Ball!

The Games continue manana...


POST SCRIPT:
as a result of the melee- the pitcher has a broken collarbone

donnie baseball: "a three-two pitch in a 1 run game and quentin thinks he is being targeted?
                             that's just stupid and he should be suspended until zack can pitch again"

Watched

independent lens

and

frontline

"what a sad, sad world for you and me"

PS: no wonder i stay hunkered in my bunker

:{

(man's inhumanity to man)

so sad...

do not know if it will make a difference.

See william jefferson clinton on colbert?

PS: nice to cry and laugh on the same day...
