@waitbutwhy I remember hearing we as human beings are something like 400 million times closer to the size of the known universe than we are to the Planck length.
@NashTalksTexas yeah this is completely irrelevant when "the standard is the standard." I think we can all agree that it was a good second season, but it didn't meet the standard.
@waitbutwhy Funny, i haven't seen you use this illustration once to call out anyone from the other "team" in the past year despite ample opportunity to do so. Perhaps this is you also choosing the orange zone.
At the end of March, 1930, the New York Yankees rolled into San Antonio like a traveling circus, and right in the middle of it all was Babe Ruth, a traveling spectacle unto himself. They pulled up to the Menger Hotel just before 8:00 a.m., where this photo was taken and ---- judging from the newspaper articles ---- before long the place looked less like a hotel lobby and more like a cattle drive gone sideways. Folks crowded in from every direction just to catch a glimpse of the Bambino, who at that time was probably more famous than President Hoover, and certainly more beloved.
That afternoon out at League Park, about 10,000 people packed in to see the Yankees take on the San Antonio Indians, and Babe didn’t disappoint, crushing a home run the first time he stepped up to the plate. But the real show might’ve been out in left field. Between pitches, Ruth stood there grinning and signing anything folks could shove or throw his way—baseballs, scorecards, gloves, scraps of cardboard, hat linings --- anything. Kids pressed up against the fence, passing things over, and he just kept right on signing. It must have been something to see.
But look at Babe in this photo! So dapper and so skinny. I guess this was before the years of excess and his huge appetite for life took their toll on his body. He's just immaculately turned out, isn't he?
@NashTalksTexas Not meaningless at all. Another spring of practices down the drain, even more critical with a new DC. He’s behind, and getting further so
