Even Dodger Stadium parking isn't this crazy.

I suppose it was just a matter of time when baseball got married to a legal betting site, but players are now reportedly getting threats from disgruntled gamblers that have lost money when they (players) failed to cover numbers.
Players have been followed home, shouts of you cost me money, I’ll kill you and your whole family from the stands.
Baseball. You made a mistake. How do you back out of it? I think you should. In the meantime, when your hometown closer looks a little more pressured than usual, be concerned. Be very concerned. We could wind up witnessing something very sad…

Jackie Gleason was a fantastic pool player.
On the set of The Hustler legendary pool player Willie Mosconi was brought in to perform the pool shots. That was necessary for Paul Newman but in his iconic role as Minnesota Fats Jackie Gleason performed all of his own shots.
There is a legendary story about how during the 1975 Masters Tournament Gleason took on the top pool shark in Augusta, Georgia and walked away with one hundred dollars.
How good a pool player was Jackie Gleason? While he didn’t have the time to devote to becoming a tournament player Gleason played at the same level as the best pool sharks in any given city. He was as cool under pressure as his portrayal of Minnesota Fats...

Okay. The format isn’t great. If you see the 548 HR and think this is Mike Schmidt, it’s not.
This is the projected record that Sadaruhu Oh ‘might have’ put up in MLB.
I read and article written by a mathematician and he showed his numbers and formulas. It was decently convincing, but a very long article more focused on the math rather than the player,
So cut to the chase…

I have a couple different driving modes in my car. One is economy and another is sport. How come when I switch between modes the vehicle range estimate doesn't change?

Now that you know it, life will never be the same:
The product of 111,111,111 multiplied by itself is a palindromic number: 12,345,678,987,654,321.
I think it represents Giancarlo’s strike out total on low and away sliders…

Here's something you don't see everyday. What don't you see everyday? The backflip (which was impressive), or the fan running on the field (which was moronic). |
