    My Asian female friend said this is what it looks like in an Asian massage parlor after 9 pm on weekends.

    Yeah… was the most progressive player ever when it comes to hitting. He didn’t put down the bat when the season ended and pick it up in spring training, he actually worked year round looking at tape and developing ways to improve his hitting. Probably one of the best fishermen to ever live as well.

    Why is Barry White wearing a head band?

    her, and this other girl that shoots like Curry (can’t remember her name) are the only women’s basketball highlights I’ve actively looked up

    How has Tony Gwynn not entered the conversation? He's probably the greatest hitter of the modern game. Probably in the top 3 hitters of all time. Also could easily pass as a donut shop worker.

    Was an exceptional athlete when he was young. Close to an NBA level basketball player, standout football player… very fast and quick and great body control.

    I wish I could say. All four of my grandparents were deceased by the time I was born, but the general consensus was that this particular grandfather was super cool. Wish I would have known him. I’ve got a picture of him on his boat when he was in his sixties. Full head of hair and not a grey to be seen ( he was half Native American). I guess I can thank him for my full head of hair—-though I do have some grey.

    Curious- have you had your genes tested for ancestry?

    I have.......and so far NOTHING shows up (I should be an eighth!), but it is kind of an obscure tribe (Abenaki). I've read conflicting reports, but it seems that smaller communities that mostly got absorbed by larger diaspora can run under the radar in those 23 and me type things. Hopefully, what I read is correct. Hate to think the whole thing was a lie.

    Interesting. My Father in Law swears up and down his grandmother was full blood Cherokee. My wife did a gene test and nada.
