I've gotta agree with a700hitter. Manny does put out a lot of effort for being an older guy. He's a great hitter and is always on the ball. I've never been to Spring Training personally, but from what I've read, and heard from people that went, Manny really does put out more than his fair share of a work out.

Which do you guys throw and bat? I bat left and throw right.

I'm not defending Yankees. I'm defending true base ballers. I know a bunch of die-hard Yankee fans who even admit that Ted Williams was the best. So why can't we be nice to some of their old timers? Which have been narrowed to Gehrig, Berra, and Rizzuto. I see no problem with those three. Especially Gehrig, how could you argue about a man who got a bad break?

Ok so that leaves: Lou Gehrig Phil Rizzuto Mickey Mantle Yogi Berra I can't think of anything they did wrong off the top of my head. I'll go check some sites.

Lou Gehrig Joe DiMaggio Phil Rizzuto Yogi Berra Mickey Mantle Reggie Jackson Sure they wore the dreaded Pin-Stripes but they were some of the most awesome ball players of their time! These are the few exceptions to the hatred of the Yankees. Or atleast in my book.

CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER! MUST START BASEBALL SEASON! Luckily I don't play this season, I can actually watch the games. My plan for now until June is to let myself go. Then starting July, work it all back off. Ha ha.

Thunderkiss '65 is a good song isn't it? My other rituals are similar, I don't walk on the foul lines, My wind up pitch is always left foot moves left, NEVER right foot back. I guess my worst one would be growing my hair out. My hair as of right now is all wild and grown out. People think I'm strange for doing it but if they knew me they'd understand. Hey... it helped the Sox win, during game 6 of the '04 series my hair was over my eyes.

As soon as I start I'll give my name. I don't want to Jinx anything or jump the gun. LAST thing I need right now is bad luck lol. *Does Voodoo Goodluck dance*

Do any of you have Rituals or Superstitions for watching or playing baseball? My ritual for the Red Sox is that I don't cut my hair but 2 times. Once in April and again in August, and my hair grows out fast so it gets all wild and what not. When I pitch, I have to hear "Thunderkiss '65" when walking to the mound, otherwise, bad luck.

I can throw a 2 seam, 4 seam, a 12-6 curve, and the 10-4 curve. My 10-4 is a BEAST it breaks slow and out then goes BAM! In for the strike! However, one time a guy got a good hit off of it for a triple. Luckily the next guy got out from a pop over right for three outs.

Read the book Ted Williams by Leigh Monteville. Ted started the Jimmy Fund, made endless donations, made sure every kid that wanted an autograph from him got one, there was even one part where he made a friend stop the car they were in, pointed at a homeless man and said that that was sad and it needed to be taken care of, as in help the homeless person. I think Ted was arrogant and cocky when he was young, and he was, all he cared about was batting. While standing in left field all he'd do were imaginary swings and fool around. But as he matured, he became loved by literally the world. I met a guy from Portugal who said baseball isn't big there, but Ted Williams, they know who he is. :thumbsup:

That was at my highschool last year.

Damn you guys are older than me. Thankfully I'm still in my prime, throwin 87mph of heat and a 2.15 ERA last year.

Linda you just didn't... You're sick, it's not even funny. I made that video in honor of that great man and you have the nerve to pull that? You need to be like Giambi and get yourself a lifetime ban.

And I don't mean doggie-style or missionary (Looking at you yeszir). I'm a pitcher.

Too bad for you I AM THE FBI!

What kind of baseball memorabilia do you guys have? (So I know who to rob ) I've got an autographed Curt Schilling baseball, autographed Carl Yastrzemski paper card, Tom Browning autographed baseball from his perfect game on September 16, 1988.
