We mourn today the passing of LSU legend Skip Bertman, the greatest coach in college baseball history, a visionary leader, and one of the most impactful figures in the evolution of collegiate athletics.
@Bobthecarp1@coachajkings So you're saying you could put any other coach from that era on the Giants and they'd still win those 2 SBs just because they had LT? That Parcells had nothing to do with the Giants success?
There have been 4 major revolutions in the past 250 years: American, French, Russian, and Chinese. Only one led to individual rights and prosperity. The others led to mass death and tyranny. The US revolution was unique because it said two things: 1. Our rights come from God not from the govt. 2. Humans are power -hungry so we need to limit govt power. So the next time someone attacks the nation of one revolution that succeeded and recycles the the idea of those that miserably failed, you can ask them: are you ignorant, or malicious?
Auburn is one of 4 schools all-time with MVPs in the NFL, NBA and MLB! In 2015, Cam Newton earned NFL MVP honors. Charles Barkley became the first Auburn NBA MVP in 1993. Frank Thomas earning two in 93 and โ94 and Josh Donaldson earning the honor in 2015. https://t.co/GB8jH13ro9
@auwde_aubtgr620@BMattAU Regulation soccer field is wider than a football field. Hedges have to come out for now. They'll be put back though. Same thing happened in Athens when they had soccer in Samford Stadium.
@JeffNadu What are you? 20 - 25 years old. TV existed long before 2000. I get this is your list and your opinion but I'm pretty sure there has to be at least 1 or 2 tv characters from the first 50 years of television that would have to be in the top 10.
"Ted Williams, one of the greatest natural hitters of all time was retired and giving some tips to the rookies at the Red Sox spring training camp.
One of them asked how to tell apart a curveball from a slider when they were coming in.
Williams replied:
"Oh! That's easy.
If it's a curveball, the red spot you see on the ball will be rotating clockwise - if it's a changeup, counterclockwise."
They all nodded and politely thanked Ted Williams for the tip.
One of the rookies turned to the others and said whispered, "Now who the f*** can even see a red spot on a ball coming at you at 95 mph?"
Then Ted Williams went on to claim that he could tell exactly where on the seams he hit a baseball.
No one believed him.
Ted Williams was long retired at this point.
Williams took a bat and covered the barrel with pine tar and they started throwing him some pitches.
Ted would hit and say "across the seams" or "between the seams" or "across one seam" or whatever.
They retrieved all the balls and found out Ted Williams was right, EVERY single time.
