Maybe he still has the world record for "oldest man to cheat a marathon"

This is a legitimately great statement. So true.

But they wouldn't know how to play "the right way."

Yes, this is a much better analysis of the at bat.

You missed a pretty big chunk of this story by not including what happened on the 2-0 pitch right before.

“Just another instance of the world becoming overridden with Snowflakes! I have to go now and get my manicure and 2 scoops of ice cream.”

That’s the only good thing about assholes. Most self-identify visually. 

Are you his barber? Because... mission accomplished.

Yep. Classified aircraft. The simplest explanation that fits all the facts is usually the correct one. 

Interesting to think who’d be the most valuable players in this league. Probably a mix of the toughest/craziest/most loyal guys in the league. I’ll start the list:
