10 Sporty Thoughts

1. Why are first, second, and third called bases, but Home base is called Home plate? You don't eat off of it.

2. How come when someone hits a ball off of the foul pole it's a fair ball? Shouldn't it be called a fair pole?

3. A strike is when you swing at a ball and miss. A ball is when you don't swing, and the ball is nowhere close to Home plate. Why is the term ball used, and why do you need four of them?

4. Why is baseball the only sport where the coach dresses like the players?

5. Why can't a fan throw a Homerun ball back onto the field for the home team to try and get the batter out before he reaches home plate? Make him earn that shit.

6. I don't understand why they throw guys out for fighting. I mean, if a pitcher and a batter want to go at it, let them fight , and then eject the instigator.

7. I wish that the goalposts in football had motorized wheels that moved back and forth. One lucky fan could win an opportunity to be in control of moving the goalpost back and forth while the other team is trying to kick a field goal.

8. The no hands rule in soccer should be modified. All players can use their hands except for the goalie. However, a goal can only be scored with the feet, and no one can come into the 18 yard box.

9. I'm not sure if there is still a trampoline basketball league. This sport could be modified by putting a pool filled with crocodiles in the middle of the playing area.

10. I still don't understand why they call it football when only two guys use their feet.

  1. I have a relative by marriage who believes a home run batted into the stands or beyond should be called dead since the ball has left the field of play.
