Close to Home by John McPherson for July 10, 2016

The guy going for second should have ran up the first incline and then slid down the other side. He will be ‘out-by-a-mile’. I think the defense has a big advantage from what I can see.

If he just steps on the head of the croc, he should be fine, just like Harry in the Atari 2600 videogame Pitfall

Not that stupid ninja warrior crap. Next they’ll be doing the “came from a challenging background” retrospective that takes up more than half the show.

“should have ran up”? It is amazing how many Americans can not speak proper english. I’m, like so totally, like, disgusted by the, like, things coming out of, like the mouths of not only, like, young people, but also newscasters, you know, like even on NPR, know what I mean?

Well, I was thinking jet packs and blaster guns, but this works.

The rotating blades between third and home were a real run killer.

Left handed shortstops and second basemen might liven things up considerably even without the obstacles.

Check out today’s Brevity for a different “enlivening” suggestion.

And, in the off season, they can use it for miniature golf.

I know how to make baseball more interesting. Just throw the damn ball, already!!!
