So, since people are charged with assault and battery with a deadly weapon, to wit a baseball bat or a golf club, then that includes those sporting goods on the list of prohibited equipment for players in Major League Baseball?
ReplyDeleteBesides, what are you going to do with pitchers like Pedro Martinez, who are notorious for their strategic use of pitches intentionally thrown outside the strike zone, otherwise known as inside pitches, brushback pitches or beanballs?

After all, someone MIGHT get hurt.
In an effort to appear as racist as possible I would mention that the dumb sonofabitch took a gun to a snowball fight. I would further mention that he only pointed his gun at people of a color that did not match his.
ReplyDeleteOh, did I give it away when I said "dumb sonofabitch"? Don't pay any attention to that. There are all colors of dumb sonsofbitches.
