Had to look up this guy, I knew a short fella had played, but that was all.

Seems like discrimination, based on height.

I'd guess the only fielding position he might have been able to handle would be catcher, as he wouldn't need to run far.

All in all, he would be a net drag on his team,  due to lack of bench depth.

 

Imagine the league full of short fellas and tall pitchers, would make for pretty boring high scoring games, point I was trying to make that at some point someone  having a big enough advantage can be detrimental to the sport.

I'd rather be a hammer throw judge than one for the javelin.

 

 


Getting hit by a javelin is just a flesh wound, getting hit by the hammer throw ball is blunt force trauma.

Just a random question: Who the hell invited Ron McLean to be part of Olympic coverage? I had to relocate the mute button on my remote. I hadn't used it since the Cup final on CBC.


Did he tell a story from the 70s that had no relevance and no one gave a shit about?

So the American got his head across first?

 

I was looking at their feet and it looked like the Jamaican had his foot across first but the American leaned at just the right time.

Don't know. I set a land speed record for hitting the mute button.


Speaking of a land speed record, in 1972 a man from Sault Ste Marie Ontario set the land speed record in a Volkswagen Beetle on the salt flats of Utah…

 

I remember that well because it was the same year Paul Henderson scored the winning goal against the Soviets in the Canada Russia Summit Series…

 

Something something Bobby Orr…Blah Blah Blah…
