oldtimer Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Let's continue the stigma we attach to people who make mistakes such as getting addicted to drugs. Meanwhile lets elevate people who take advantage and abuse others, as long as they don't do drugs. Best of all, let's all come together en masse and drink alcohol to excess while denigrating one and elevating the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To let a disgraced drug addict throw out the first pitch would be a huge and unnecessary distraction from the most interesting World Series game in decades. Find an honored former Indian player or fan to throw out the first pitch. You never have to second-guess going first class. Let the game be the main attraction. I don't think for the average American, it really makes a difference. Most people just don't care and will choose who they like or don't like. Throwing out the opening ball is not going to take anything away from the game. I think Pete Rose and Arod would agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you make a batch and shake it 100 times? Say 25 gallons? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only people who care seems to be the ones that view baseball as a religion. It's just entertainment, not something holy. If people cared about ex drug addicts being involved in wholesome family entertainment, they'd boycott Curious George because ex-druggie Drew Barrymore voiced part of it. No kid could ever watch IronMan because ex-druggie Robert Downey Jr. stars in it. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, or Pirates of the Caribbean? No way, that ex-alcoholic Johnny Depp is in it. Spiderman? Oh my gosh no, Kristen Dunst has been caught with drugs multiple times and has been in and out of rehab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Game seven is the holiest day of the year, and it doesn't even happen every year. This is like the summer and winter solstices at Stonehenge at the same time. Combine that with the Spring and harvest sacrifices and you get the idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
