      When Ruth went to England, he tried out Cricket and reportedly hit some of the longest balls that his instructor had seen. His instructor who was a noted Cricket pro wanted to train Babe up as a Cricket batsman and thought he could in a short term be one of the best. Babe asked him how much a top Cricket player made and was told about the equivalency of $250 a month. Since Babe at the time was making $80,000 with the Yankees, he said that he was going to stay with baseball.

    I never liked baseball but the best thing about it is how good you are is completely up to you. You don't need another player to make you look good. You can either hit, catch and throw or you can't. With other sports like football you need someone else to let you be your best, a quarterback is only as good as his receivers.

    Way back in the 90's I worked in defense. One day we had a company softball game instead of a work day. It was the first time I ever wore cleats. I came to bat, assumed the opposite of the stance illustrated here (legs together, not apart) and when the slo-pitch pitcher lobbed his first pitch, I stepped into the swing, made contact, and the giggling behind me became one drawn out Woooooah! The ball went so far it ended up on the other diamond. I also caught a right field fly ball while I was running away from it with my back turned. The moral is: always play with cleats!

    Ah, you're in the city I grew up in.
    Lynn, Lynn the city of sin
    You never come out, the way you came in
    You ask for water, but they give you gin
    The girls say no, yet they always give in.
    I lived in Southern California and Las Vegas and was always surprised by how many people would recite that little ditty to me when I told them where I was from, I had always thought it was just a local thing!
    I'm surprised to see you there, its not really much of a tourist spot. There are some interesting places though, High Rock Tower and the Stone Tower in Lynn Woods are cool. There's also Dungeon Rock, where many believe a buried pirate treasure is deep in the bottom of the cave and a man died in a 1638 earthquake trying to dig to it. Much of what he dug out also collapsed and now there's a deep hole at the end of the tunnel filled with water at the bottom. It is known that way back then pirate ships occassionally sailed up the nearby Saugus River to avoid British naval ships.
    The old burial ground on Wetern Ave. has graves dating back to the 1600's. Lots of bars and pubs in the city, talk to the locals, some aren't the safest places to be. Lots of great eating places, and don't forget to try a roast beef sandwich, they're among the best in the country, and Brothers Deli on Market Street is a great place for breakfast or lunch.
    Enjoyed the reaction very much!

  • @davidwillford3119
    @davidwillford3119 9 часов назад +4

    That was a fun video. The Babe Ruth style bat came from the 1920s, where the thinking was that heavier bats equaled more power, thus more home runs. Later the theory came into vogue that lighter bats resulted in faster swings to give more power.
    The pros use wooden bats. The ball comes off much faster on metal bats, so the pro players use the older style wooden bats as a built-in handicap. At the pro level, using metal bats would result in more hits and skew the game away from pitching and defense.
    Oh, and Rounders is generally recognized as the precursor to baseball.

    He said baseball goes back to the early 1900s, but it actually goes back to the mid 1800s. It was significantly different at first, and originally called Base Ball (two words), but mostly recognizable to a modern baseball fan. The rules to baseball had settled close to what we have today when the first professional team was formed in 1869. The first major league was formed in 1871. It was replaced by the National League in 1876, which is half of what we now know as Major League Baseball (MLB). The other half, the American League, was formed out of a minor league and it claimed major league status in 1901. The two leagues cooperated throughout the 20th century, but did not formally merge until the year 2000. There are quite a few professional and amateur teams and leagues across the country and around the world, but MLB is generally considered the highest level, certainly in the United States at least. And Canada, there is currently one Canadian team in MLB.

    That was a great video! You did great. Like everything, it takes lots of practice. I played Little League Baseball and played left field and wore number 14, the same number and position that Pete Rose played at the time. He was my favorite player growing up. In case you haven’t heard of him he is basesballs all time hit leader and recently passed away. He was banned from baseball for betting on games and was denied being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Coach Kyle was a good instructor. Take care! 🙏🏼

    My most embarrassing sports moment: Company picnic softball. My girlfriend is on the opposite team, I'm at left field. She hit over the shortstop and it rolled right between my legs. I ran after it and failed to scoop it up twice. Home run for my girlfriend, and for me... I never heard the end of it.

    Well, sometimes in life you've just got to go for it, and swing for the fences. Maybe you'll hit a home run or at least make in on base. Editor Diane seems to have some inside information on Diane's interaction with bases. Diane also indicated a familiarity with baseball bats for whacking both balls and people. Sometime on the same person at the same time. However, Diane's not going to face down a fastball. A fun video.

    That was fun!
    Major League Baseball teams have all kinds of special days. One of them is Breast Cancer Awareness Day (please, RUclips censors, don't take offense at the B word). One year for that day, the slogan was, "Don't let cancer steal second base."
    Professional baseball started in 1869. Amateur baseball goes back a lot farther than that. The current form started to take shape around 1845, but people were playing games called "baseball" as long ago at the 18th century.
    All bats used to be wood, but at lower levels of competition they switched to metal bats because they don't break. It can be expensive to keep replacing your bats, so youth leagues save money by using metal. You can hit the ball a lot harder with a metal bat because it's harder and more elastic (i.e. bouncy). If they used metal bats at the major league level it would be a very different game.
    I caught the joke you made about the size of a bat. Either Kyle didn't get it, or he cautiously ignored it.
    Pitching machines are pretty safe because they don't accidentally throw a pitch at your head. Still, it was probably a good idea for you not to go up against the machine. There's no way you would have hit a full-speed pitch, anyway. Maybe Kyle could have set it to a really slow speed.
    Playing catcher is hard on the knees. It's not the position for you. I can imagine you playing first or second base.
    Thanks!

    Happy Thursday to you Diane. My Father was a good pitcher in baseball. He held all the records at the high school he went to for years, and had offers to play at colleges. I always liked basketball myself. A game called horse is a fun basketball game to play with a group. You should do a reaction to Pete Maravich. He played in the 1960s and 1970s. He still holds the record for highest points per game in division one college with 44.2 points per game. Unfortunately he died pretty young from a heart defect, that they didn’t know he had until he died.

    Very good Diane. Starting young just throwing the ball with Dad is important for baseball. But the good news is you can become a baseball type girl easily. It is a 'talking game' perhaps more than any other. Thousands of stats are kept on it from many walks of life. Watch a few games next season. Just one warning. It can be a very boring game for spectators. Not like 'cricket boring' but still pretty bad.

    What FUN! I'm impressed with the idea, to try sports (cultural group fun events - intelligent way to see a mindset,) as an introduction to different cultures. Would gladly introduce you to sportss followed by the more sedentary age group - harvesting deer, duck, fowl, gator, and tricking the wet scaled things to get out of the water and into our bellies.
    P.S. You should use entire body during rugby war, including 😅a hand of well sharpened nails.
