Over the Christmas holidays, I read a book titled, "Double Take - Politically Incorrect Limericks" by some body named Jaggero which might provide a great caption to this picture (something along the lines of "don't worry no damage will be done here..."); it's a funny as heck and cheap book that makes some interesting observations about sports (in general) and baseball players (in particular). It also has some great takes on terrorism/terrorists, politicians (ours), pop-culture (& Hollywood leftists e.g. it actually predicted that Bill Maher will return on cable...) and society. Check out their website here:

I'll say this too, if this book had a liberal slant it would be hailed by the media as a pure work of art! A picture I took of a poster ad (in NYC) can be seen here:

By the way, I sent this book as a gift to a few of my liberal "friends" last Christmas, I haven't heard from them since...makes me wonder!

The uniform he is wearing greatly reduces any sympathy I might normally have. >:)

( baseball = a breath of sanity (ideally) in a world increasingly mad )
