Really Roger? Have you seen Obama throw out the first pitch? This video is all you need to see with presidential first pitches....

Sandy Koufax. Would love to see him bring the heat.

He doesn't bring the heat anymore, but he's a heckuva golfer these days.

Mrs. Robinson, because then we two grandma's could talk about the grandkids. You don't hear much about her but she raised an excellent daughter.

Frankie8 11 months, 2 weeks ago

You know very well that I meant that we would talk while we were tossing the ball back and forth. You can do both. Toss, catch, chat, repeat.

Frankie8 11 months, 2 weeks ago

I mean Mrs. Robinson and me by which I mean the mother of Mrs. Obama.

Adolf Hitler, assuming I am going back in time, I would have talked him out of doing all the things he did while we were throwing the pickle as we in the know call it, and he would have become a baseball announcer. I got the term throwing the pickle from the M. Crickton novel, Jurassic Park.

Just now thought, the Roadrunner could throw the ball to himself and then catch it. Way cool!

Like the Field of Dreams character, my Father. Not a famous athlete, but he always used his "Mel Ott" glove, joking, laughing, while a Kansas summer thunder storm always seemed to be brewing on the horizon. We'd talk about politics, life the storm and the past afterwards. He always had time for catch.
