I offer my sincere
apology to Janice Hough. I misread the attribution in Chad's post and blamed
her for the comment re: umpires handing out letters of introduction at third to
avoid the ever manly and traditional home plate collision. That gem sprang from
the genius that is T C Chong. I'll try harder to decipher Chad's color-coding
in the future
Chong and all the
macho types commenting how the proposed rules change will include a clause
changing MLB uniform pants to skirts or just poking a little 'harmless humor' at violent
home plate collisions will no doubt have a field day yukking up the first
confirmed case of degenerative brain disease in a former player’s suicide.
A study released
last week found that former MLB player Ryan Freel had the degenerative brain
disease, chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), when he committed suicide a
year ago. Caused by repetitive brain trauma, CTE has raised questions about the
safety of the athletes.
Freel, who missed 30
games during the 2007 season because of a concussion he got colliding with a
teammate, estimated that he had sustained up to 10 concussions during his
playing days.
Waiting patiently to
be shown the humor in this.
