Originally posted by Airhead Hockey?? A MAN'S game?? Give me a break- hockey is for frustrated figure skaters. Real men play baseball, football or basketball- or get into pro wrestling. I'll tell you something else, Whale Breath- if there were any money in hockey, the way there is in other professional sports, nobody would have ever heard of Wayne Gretsky. He'd be carving little totem poles to sell to the tourists off the cruise ships.
This photo appeared in a story in this week's Sporting News. In the article, the author notes,"News reports indicated that Kerry, in anticipation of the great honor , had practiced throwing pitches to aides. If so, those aides would have well served their man by saying, 'Er, sir, maybe we should have Teresa do it.' As Kerry came out tof the Red Sox dugout to do the first-pitch honors, he carried the ball in a way that foreshadowed the achievement to come. He carried it pressed against his palm with his fingers wrapped all the way around it. Kerry didn't go all the way to the mound. Perhaps he took a touch of advice from aides who had seen him warm up. He stopped maybe 45 feet from home plate. From there he threw the first pitch. I say 'threw' in the kindest possible way. Here's what Kerry did: He raised his right arm to its full height. From up there, in an athletic movement seldom seen on a baseball field, he let the stiffened arm fall forward. At the same time, he splayed open his fingers in a way that allowed the ball to fall out. It bumped against the ground short of the catcher and in the right hand batter's box...President Bush threw a World Series strike from 60 feet, 6 inches while wearing body armor the month after 9/11. And he threw another strike opening this season in St. Louis. So if we need a fastball at Osama bin Laden's ear, I know which guy I want on the mound."
