I feel you. I don’t buy stuff, don’t watch their channels, don’t use their apps. I remain, however, addicted to between the white lines. What Seattle did to the catcher, what ESPN did to Schilling, the NFL support of Kaepernick, it makes them reprehensible. But the games, the competition for three hours, soooo good.

3 hours? The total actual playing time for the average NFL game is less than 20 minutes. I have been boycotting the NBA forever and the NFL for the last 3 years.

I’m a big baseball fan myself. I played organized league softball and baseball for about 20 years. I love going to an evening game. The atmosphere at the ball park is just a great way to relax and enjoy your time.

Suck up some brews, get a few hot-dogs, maybe get some peanuts too...

I grew up listening to St. Louis Cardinal baseball games in the 50s with my grandfather. We lived in in the country. In the pitch black, you could hear the play by play on the old radio.

Harry Carry, Jack Buck did the play by play. It was a magical time for me, something I’ll never forget. It has stayed with me for sixty years.

I’ve had a bat and ball in my hands many times over the years. There isn’t another sport like it, the vernacular, the old stories, the colorful characters...

The chumps that run these sports are just that.

Too bad Chumps are so in vogue these days.
