It is rare that a Cubs fan gives it up, but it has happened. So the guy is no longer a Cubs fan, big deal

Is a reachout anything like a reacharound?

"After a little conversation back and forth, I found out he loved baseball"

"No, dude, seriously, I never go past third base on a first date."

"gay man chooses to walk away from his lifestyle after receiving baseball tickets from hot male twins" This is either the biggest lie ever or that guy is trying to score himself a threesome.

I had the totally opposite experience! It was The Mets, World Series (80s), Wally Backman...something went "schwing...zaannggg!!!" - and I haven' been the same since - not that I ever was 'the same' to begin with, but baseball is...(thud)

That's a caftan (actually) - not a 'wing', but he LOVES to pretend!!

Oh, honey boos, that's not what really happened. I think you brothers are just confused again because you were busy watching all of them baseball players playing with their balls.

I don't want even a whisper of what your fantasy might be.

What exactly is this "lifestyle" they keep talking about? Does it have something to do with Robin Leach?

Sorta OT...

"We bet he did it with help from that upstanding US Marine, loving father, and lifelong rifle enthusiast who punched out the atheist Ivy-league professor who said God was dead. Look for this inspirational story and more in your great aunt Millie’s next email chain."

Just got a new one this morning that I hadn't seen before. Marine shows up at the hospital, nurse takes him to old man calling out for his son. Marine sits with old man all night 'til he (old man) dies. Marine tells nurse he's not really the guy's son but since the old man was lonely and needed comfort, he sat all night with him. Nurse asks why Marine is at hospital, Marine says he's there to inform John Q Public that his son has died in combat. Nurse almost faints because dead old guy is John Q Public.

Cue violins...drop mood lighting...fade to black. My aunt passed it off "knowing" that it's a true story. The common clay of the land, alright.

A bird in the hand...no, wait.

A ball in the...no, that's not it.

A bird in the ball..um, can't get fooled again. God bless baseball AND America.

Just stop sometime in the process and yell to yourself, "Oh no! What is this!!?" Then take a 90 second break, come back and fix the rotten wood. Works every time.

No, that's supposed to distract you from your aching jaw.
