Screwball

It certainly could. That was my pitching glove. I had a fielding glove that is smaller, but broke in even more. 🙂 I had another that was completely wore out and I finally had to retire it. Hated breaking in new gloves. When not in use, wrap a baseball in it. They don't do it today I don't think, but back then (70s) we rubbed them down with neatsfoot oil to soften them up. Things were much different 50 years ago. A funny little story. In 1994/1995 I coached a high school team. By that time all they had were aluminum bats. I suppose due to cost? Doesn't matter I guess. Anyway, I had an old wooden bat at home (I made one in shop class and used it, but it broke and never made another) so I took it to a practice late in the year. The kids were amazed. They never saw a wooden bat, and of course never hit a ball with one. It was neat to watch them all gather around and "wow" over that bat. We had to have extra batting practice so everyone could use it just to see what it was like. Oh wow, that was cool!!! No ping. A crack of a ball on a wooden bat. Music to the ears. The glove also traveled. In 1973 it rode in a car from a ball game in Mansfield, Ohio to our hometown (about an hour drive) with 4 other guys on the team, a case of beer, and a bong that was the head of Richard Nixon. The bowl was his nose, you sucked on his head, and his ear was the carburetor. 🙂 I wasn't quite old enough to drink, but nobody cared.

Your brain will be just fine. If you play enough it comes natural and you think nothing of it. Can you imagine how many thousands and thousands of balls you have fielded over the years?

I can't compare to that. Pretty. This one is just about broke in. You can tell at the bottom the leather laces are different. Local grocery, display of shoe laces. Scissors, a small screwdriver, and we fixed them ourselves. My web busted one night and about got my nose broke.

Gloves matter, depending on where you are. Pitchers want big gloves to help hide the ball. Outfielders would too for that one that just got away. Infield is a time thing. You have little. Smaller glove is better. I'm sure today they can get custom made gloves, just like bats. I don't know if the difference between bigger/smaller 3rd base glove and a SS would matter, but if that's what they want to do, and can, why not? A pitchers glove and a SS/3B guy was like a boat anchor and something you could catch a ball with. :-). Of course that was when Denny McClain was winning 31 games.

This one was funny. Simple geometry. Didn't need to italic diagonal, hypotenuse would have worked.

John Daly not only knocked the snot out of the ball, but some of the best hands around the greens I've ever seen. Incredible touch. His upside was huge. I'll bet he would be a ball to party with. 🙂

Thank you very much. That's is very helpful.

Couple of questions if you don't mind. I do 3D printing as well. Are those images a flat picture mounted on a 3D modeled base? Are the pictures 3D printed as well. Kind of hard to tell from the picture. Did you use the HueForge software to create the base? IOW, is HueForge the 3D modeler? That's a start, and I hope that makes sense.

I haven't followed either wreck, and I was not in the car. But... If it is that sort of stuff, which sounds like pain killers. One must wonder if he has to do that to compete. He's no spring chicken. Body hurts. Need meds. One of the best golfers to ever walk the planet, and without saying, they are all intense competitors. Do what you gotta do. Wasn't he going to try to play the Masters?

Crude (WTI) did hit $100 today. Incoming chart porn. First crude a few minutes ago which is a live one minute chart. This is one we have been following above. S&P 9 month by day. Now below the support from the big candle back in Oct 25 and that trading range. Market tried to go higher, but failed. Yellow arrows are Fed rate cuts. Ain't much under there.

What's up with him and cars? He should just hire a driver. No pun intended.

That made me think of the number on the right side of the decimal point. We got the penny thing going on rounding to a nickel. If I make a trade on Wall Street it settles 4 digits to the right of the decimal point. How ****ed up is that. Math arb... for banksters.

The chart porn is interesting. WTI crude daily as it flirts around that $93.46 level. This support/resistance level was established back in Oct. 2022, then again in 9/23. Now went goofy in the last 6 months or less. Crude daily one minute This one zoomed in a tad from a 5 year chart of Crude. I didn't remember it hit $130 back in March of 22. On to the S&P porn. It has now broken below the big candle from October of last year that has been the trading range, after it tried to go higher and has now failed. Including three rate cuts from the Fed. Daily 9 month chart. We can plainly see it broke under the 6550 level. There isn't much under there, if you are a chart guy. This chart doesn't go back far enough, but there are gaps at 6028 and 5720. Adding, those two red candles from the last week are .27 from the same lows. Funny how that works. Maybe AI. 🙂

I remember that. Those guys were pretty good.
