Jim Abbott once hit a triple??

Get off your horse. Which one do you like? The one where people can't use their hands or the one where they bang into each other and feel each other up for an hour?
Spring training, Reuschel was probably lobbing it right down the middle and the outfielders were no doubt as shallow as they could get. Ideal conditions for a gapper that rolls to the wall. At least that's my guess.

Triples are more about placement and running than power, which wouldn't preclude him. Was a big fan when he was with the Yanks, never knew he'd done that.
The idiot who made the first reply obviously has no sense of history or strategy, understandable because he's probably 12.

most people don't know that he was one-handed. i feel bad for the pitcher who gave up the triple bwahaha.

I thought about this a bit and realized that, although I'm generally against giving presents in pro sports, one triple in spring training to a brave one-armed man would probably be acceptable. Maybe even Ripken's All-Star Game dinger, though that's a stretch. I wonder how Ichiro Suzuki would hit one-handed...
Now taking a dive to give Strahan the sack record? That's a whole different ballgame. That's some down-home original-recipe slow-cooked fail sauce. Maybe the worst thing Favre ever did on the field.
Elway would never have done that. Fall down and give the enemy a record? Elway would sooner give Strahan his toes in a box with a pink bow and a card that says "Call Me".

I like the ones that I can watch without falling asleep in 5 min. The only fun thing about baseball is going to games and thats only fun because youre hanging out with people and only slightly paying attention to the game.
I like football (american football), lacrosse, hockey and basketball. When baseball season starts its hell for me. Football is over, basketball will be over soon, no soccer, and lacrosse is ending. All I have untill Augest is dumb, "we play 180 games a season because this sport is as physically taxing as curling", baseball.

1) It's 162 games
2) Baseball is far from boring if you actually learn something about the game. Pitching and hitting are like a chess game, only better IMO.
3) Baseball is more demanding than you think.
4) No other sports?! MLS season is starting in the next week, not that soccer is a sport (/sarcasm)
Sounds like somebody didnt make the little league team and is still bitter. BTW, hockey is boring.....bunch of men on skates and sometimes a puck happens to go into a net.
What was the point of that? Watch whatever you desire but sometimes it's best to remain silent rather than showcasing your ignorance.
BTW, this is pretty cool.
Check out this Pitcher
I wish I could have been the manager of the opposing pitcher.
Opposing pitcher's manager: "Get the fu** off my mound! He's got one fu**ing hand, jackass..."
