Sloppy Second Base


A very minor photo tribute to the beginning of spring training. These guys are welcome to get to third base with me whenever they want.



Many years ago, ABC Sports ran a show called Superstars. It pitted a group of pro baseball players from some team against a groups of pro football players in a series of athletic competitions: running, tug-o-war, obstacle course, etc.
Practically every week, the baseball players won. In fact, they tended to win every event except tug-o-war. While the football players were always bigger and stronger, they were mostly specialists, while baseball required everyone to be good at the same big group of skills.
