Hey, fellas. I wanted to point out some incompetence in this post. World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) is in Boston tonight for their pay per view. In the match Alberto Del Rio v. Jack Swagger, Del Rio was repeatedly hitting swagger with a steel chair (kind of). Del Rio was swinging the chair right handed. The announcer Michael Cole made a comment "He looks like Big Papi up there!" One problem. David Ortiz is left handed. Ouch...this just goes to how many misinformed nuts are out there. I know I'm making this a bigger deal than it seems, but baseball to me is life. I can't stand losers who simply don't know the game.

Maybe he meant they're alike since they're both steroids users?

this reminds me of a story. back in the mid 90s me and my dad went to a baseball card show at the local mall. there were guys selling coins too. we talked to this old dude selling coins for a bit. he started talking about the 1943 penny that was made from steel. we were like yeah they wanted to save copper for WWII. he was like omg yes im glad you guys knew that. he said he was talking to like some 2nd grade kids and they had no clue about the steel pennies and this old guy was all horrified about it that they didnt know. like it was super common knowledge to everyone including little kids. me and my dad laughed the whole ride home lol.
