Wasn't part of the problem that the Negro Leagues didn't keep very good records and stats? A lot of barnstorming and word of mouth stuff. I mean if the record books say Babe Ruth went 2-5 against the Red Sox with a HR and 3 RBIs on June 2, 1929 you can bet that's what happened. That time my...

I think if women want to feel stylish they bring along their purse or handbag. And if they don't want to be burdened with a personal item then they just put their crap in their man's day pack and reach in whenever they need something. Not that I would ever wear a man purse or a fanny pack on a...

A lot of strip clubs are money laundering fronts because they are all cash with little inventory. She might be wisely managing her bundles of shame and paying her taxes but I wonder how her boss and his "investors" feel about her "stripper economics" lectures on Tik Toc. She might have nothing...

We used to play a game called "roofball" back in the '80s but it was different. You formed two teams and had a starting line. One player would toss a volleyball up the roof and then the next player up for the opposing team would have to volley it back along the roof and so on. If a player faile...

Another good source of free entertainment is your local public library. Now that streaming dominates a lot of people have donated huge collections of DVDs to the library, not just movies but shows, anthologies, etc. It's weird that people now have an aversion to sticking a physical disk into a m...

[quote]Yes, they hunted them and chased them on horseback to get close enough to kill them. They sure as hell didn't just stroll up to the herd and take their pick.[/quote] The indians hunted buffalo for thousands of years before Europeans and horses showed up on the scene. One of the most ...
