Pro Quality. Fan Perspective.
Around SBN: Kentucky Wildcats 66, Alabama Crimson Tide, 55: Postmortem

You may or may not remember the Million Dollar Arm Challenge. A bunch of cricket players tried to throw a decent fastball and the winners got a chance to try out for a major league team. This is the contest the Brian Wilson went over to India for. Since then, the two winners have been traveling across America and visiting various baseball teams and stadiums and such and have been blogging about their experiances. There has been some kinda interesting stuff about their impressions of America during the year. Anyway, they recently got to meet Barry Bonds and posted about it yesterday.

That’s so cool. I’ll definitely be reading this. I like how they were impressed with BLB’s TV that appears as if from nowhere. I would be too!

"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.' Not only says it - but insists upon it! ... Democracy is lovely, but baseball's more mature." BVCE supports SF Dugout and Manny Burriss.

New MCC meme?

I say make it so.

The Denker bus is now bound for San Diego. Those who were passengers on it are now angrily stranded at a gas station in Modesto, CA. Not much about baseball here .

There are a good portion of post that are pretty “meh”, but they are all pretty short and you can get through a lot of post in very little time. You can tell that their understanding of the language and culture gets better as the season goes on.
