    I charged the mound after getting hit by a pitch.

    I lost.

    This is top 3 baseball violence of all time. I'd have to think on the other two.

    I feel like the furry of George Brett charging the ump and then being restrained is worthy of discussion. Also Charlie Hustle in the 1970 All Star Game.

    I remember the highlights of Marichal when it happened. Compared to the breathless over coverage of everything today it really wasn't that big of a deal. I kept the SI cover on my wall for awhile.

    There were no calls for the death penalty or anything like that.

    I put 1750 in the inflation calculator and it comes out to 13 grand today. Amazing

    Playing basketball for Boys Club when I'm 11, and we're going against Loyal Heights in our first game.

    Half our team doesn't even make it to the game, and we have to get some players from the stands.

    I think we're losing something like 50-8, and I got so embarrassed and upset that I walked off the court and out of the gym. When I was talked into coming back in I threw a cussing tantrum.

    35 years later I still cringe when I think about it.

    I once went to bed with 2 chicks. One was a really hot model, blonde. Easily a 10. The other one was average, about a 6, also blonde. She liked me but I wanted to fuck the model so I started fingering her. Then a few minutes into it they both get up and leave the room for no apparent reason.

    There's nothing gay about rowing a boat.






    So long as you rape and pillage when you get to land.

    No, row it boat is not really gay; it's tuff ass shit. I was just using @whlinder 's terminology in the sense that Crew is: (a) boring as hell as a spectator sport most of the time, although it once used to draw way bigger crowds of spectators than Husky football when there was nothing else to watch in Seattle; and (b) it is the essential sport for slow, tall, uncoordinated white boys, who suck a sports ball. A lot of you fuckers here were probably way better than me in HS hoops (or other forms of sports ball), but you put me on an erg (rowing machine) in my prime and I could pull 2000 meter times just a few seconds off what dude in the Olympics need to pull.
    gay rowboat is generally the preferred nomenclature around these parts
