Links
- Is Pujols Going to be One of the Best Hitters Ever? Good analysis.
- Tiger Woods welcomes Michael Phelps to the Head Table. Phelps learns what it’s like to be a celebrity.
- Dr. Chapstick. An old commercial featuring Julius Erving changing his name to “Dr. Chapstick.” Yeah…
- Politically Correct Pussies Hate Baseball. Get this: A 9-year-old isn’t allowed to play Little League baseball because he’s too good.

And whoever is in charge of the league he played in was only in charge because the old administrator got kicked out for being too good of an administrator.
