Researching Kentucky's law
Just today (4/4) saw FUBLUE's summation of Kentucky law. I'm researching to be sure, but I don't think heckling falls under the Kentucky statute. Our legislature is great at overlooking $900 million...

Sign 'im up
No outfielder can rattle me as PU. They're way too far away even from a call at third. I save a special chuckle for outfielders who want to argue balls and strikes. I say to everyone in my immediate...
