When baseball was fun and not woke

 Via Rich H

 

A few days ago, I exchanged an email with a friend.  We are both big baseball fans but have not attended a game this year.  Wonder whether we are the only ones?  I don't think so.

The beauty of baseball is its history.  For example, I never saw Joe DiMaggio play but I know just about everything about his amazing 56-game hitting streak of 1941.  How does a human being get a hit against major league pitching for 56 games in a row?  Well, Joe must have eaten a lot of good lasagna growing up.

Then there was Carl Hubbell throwing his famous screwball to strike out Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmy Foxx, Al Simmons, and Joe Cronin in the 1934 All Star Game.  Who said that the All Star Game was just an exhibition?

  1. Me, too - Just wondering what Professional Sport is not outdoing itself to be Woke? To what gain? Certainly not financial when you alienate your Fans to the point of many of us not watching ever again, let alone actually attending in person. What impact will this have on High School & Collegiate Sports? This is one really nasty way of ruining positive competitve spirit and all that goes with it.
    Reset Time for all Sports -- At least the Tranny weightlifter bombed out, or so I heard. Would never watch the Woke OLympics either.

      Hopefully it lost big time.
