Appreciating Baseball

 It's getting to be that time of year when 'The Boys Of Summer Begin' begin plying their trade. I love the game of baseball. What I don't like is how the powers to be are destroying the game with their silly rules but that's another story.

As the years fly by I appreciate the talents of Greg Maddux more and more.He was what is called a pitcher, not a thrower. Toward the end of his illustrious career in which he won 18 Gold Gloves in his 19 year career he was firing the ball a measly 82 mph.  What made him so great is he could paint the corners of the plate. If there's a youngster in your family playing on a competitive level ask them to contemplate the statistic in the photo.
