I sent this to my former Boss. he emailed back this:

"Human athletic action has been enhanced by devices that leverage or guide the energy to the right places for a long time. 1980s Nike running shoes may have started this science. Mr. Bonds elbowware did allow him to cover out with more protection in. At least Frank Robinson had the guts to take the hBP with no padding and move on. I agree with Michael Witte but who GAS? MLB has long past cared about being corrupt, they only care about having to defend their corruption over and over and over again."

Make sure you get rid of your high tech golf clubs and tennis racquet and scrap those "clack" speed skates. Dump every ski you have, except for the wood ones and go back to low, leather lace-up boots. Go back to "original" baseball and play barehanded.

Name a sport that does not have performance enhancing equipment.

I watched the last game of the womans match and I did notice that they were wearing some skimpy bikini's.

Oh, wait a minute. I forgot about those things that go bzzzzzzzz that wimmen carry in their purses.

Nevermind.

And for anybody thinking that "marriage" ain't a sport, just GOOGLE "blood sports". You'll find "marriage" listed as #1.

It's true, it's true.......
