Sempre belle le formiche non smetterei mai di leggerle.

Il secondo riguarda Gaylord Perry, l'artista della spitball... o quello che era!
Ma non importa, perché qui si parla di Perry battitore, non un grande battitore per la verità. Tanto che egli stesso, nel 1963 affermò: "l'uomo metterà piede sulla luna prima che io batta un home run".
L'Ancient Mariner colpì il primo fuoricampo in carriera il 20 luglio 1969

Questo è fantastico!

Vi posterei delle barzellette che trovai in giro sul web :

Two old guys, Abe and Sol, are sitting on a park bench feeding pigeons and talking about baseball, like they do every day. Abe turns to Sol and says, "Do you think there's baseball in heaven?"
Sol thinks about it for a minute and replies, "I dunno. But let's make a deal: if I die first, I'll come back and tell you if there's baseball in heaven, and if you die first, you do the same."

They shake on it and sadly, a few months later, poor Abe passes on. One day soon afterward, Sol is sitting there feeding the pigeons by himself when he hears a voice whisper, "Sol... Sol..."

Sol responds, "Abe! Is that you?"

"Yes it is, Sol," whispers Abe's ghost.

Sol, still amazed, asks, "So, is there baseball in heaven?"

"Well," says Abe, "I've got good news and bad news."

"Gimme the good news first," says Sol.

Abe says, "Well... there is baseball in heaven."

Sol says, "That's great! What news could be bad enough to ruin that!?"









Abe sighs and whispers, "You're pitching on Friday."

A recent Scottish immigrant attends his first baseball game in his new country and after a base hit he hears the fans roaring run....run! The next batter connects heavily with the ball and the Scotsman stands up and roars with the crowd in his thick accent: "R-r-run ya bahstard, r-run will ya!" A third batter slams a hit and again the Scotsman, obviously pleased with his knowledge of the game, screams "R-r-run ya bahstard, r-r-run will ya!" The next batter held his swing at three and two and as the ump calls a walk the Scotsman stands up yelling "R-r-run ya bahstard, r-r-run!" All the surrounding fans giggle quietly and he sits down confused.
A friendly fan, sensing his embarrassment whisper, "He doesn't have to run, he's got four balls." After this explanation the Scotsman stands up in disbelief and screams,


"Walk with pr-r-ride man! Walk with pr-r-ride!!!!"

hihi.. belle le barzellette..

"Se Rene Lachemann (ex coach di terza base dei Sox) fosse stato un controllore di volo, la baia di Boston sarebbe un cimitero di fusoliere"

Lasciata da Rickey Henderson sulla segreteria telefonica del GM dei Padres Kevin Towers: "Hey Kev, I am calling on behalf of Rickey. Rickey wants to know if Rickey can get in a game tomorrow"

The morning after the Sox finished off the sweep against St. Louis in October 2004, Rickey Henderson called someone in the organization looking for tickets to Game 6 at Fenway Park.

Ciao ragazzi, vorrei tanto leggere anche io  questi aforismi sul Baseball, ma i link trovati in sezione sembrano disattivati, chi può aiutarmi???
