Little Known Baseball Fact

Did you know that Jerry Seyfried, former Northampton County Executive and world-acclaimed archer, at one time played Little League baseball? That's right. He tells me he played with guys like Bossman Joe Long, who developed his waxed moustache when he was nine.

Jerry has forwarded this little known baseball fact, and I want to share it with you.

The first testicular guard (Cup) was used in baseball in 1874. The first helmet was used in 1934. It took 60 years for men to realize that the brain is also important.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
