Thanks Dargo, I get that. My exclamation was rhetorical. Yeah, Foreman could not box, his mode of attack consists was just to push the opponent aside and go in swinging. And he could take a punch. Frazier could not handle this approach. Frazier liked conventional tussles where he could bob and weave. Amazing he didn't learn anything from the first Foreman fight. Ali was clever and knew what to do with Foreman to which you allude. Where is TomJW, he is very knowledgeable on this subject. Thanks, Dargo.
Yep, I also thought of our old friend Tom as I posted my reply the other day. He is quite the fight fan, alright.

Tom joined on Oct 22 '22 and has ONE post. Apparently he saw something he didn't like and bye-bye Charlie.

Biggest upset so far. Purdue had difficulty making 3 point shots and getting the ball into the paint to their big center. FDU played with smarts and heart.

This game is why I love to watch March Madness.

For the record, my post was not to usher in the baseball season.

Thompson and Dargo, you guys know baseball so I assume you know the batter. One of the most distinctive batting stances ever and one of the greatest hitters ever.

So I assume you both know who he is.

Right?

I'll take a wild guess and say Ted Williams. Second guess, Stan Musial.

Wow! Just watched one of the most electric moments I've ever seen in a baseball game!

Ohtani striking out Trout in the bottom of the 9th on a full count with a perfect slider to save the World Championship game for Japan against the U.S.A. and with a final score of 3-2.

(...one for the ages!)

Angel players finally play good enough to win something. I'm not a fan of these games due to the injuries. I'm surprised the contracts with the MLB players allows them to participate. Some are calling to replace the all-star game with this World Championship, held during the middle of the MLB season as a way of gaining more fans to MLB. Nuts IMO.

PS: I assume Sedona is getting around double the average rainfall this season. We are going to England in April, and I'm still trying to convince the wife to go to Sedona\AZ in May.
