This blog is no longer updated.
Since I own the domain name for a couple more years, and the hosting was paid-in-advance, it's still here. But I've moved on to Hawaii, and no longer have the need to publish all the sorts of neat stuff that made up the contents of this website.
If you've linked to me, you are invited to unlink, as your readers will no longer be presented with new content. Thanks, Steve
Foreign substances on the diamond.

Speechless.
South Korea's baseball authorities have banned a star pitcher from wearing frozen cabbage leaves in his cap to keep cool during games.
The Korean Baseball Association met in special session after cabbage leaves twice fell from Park Myung-Hwan's cap live on television.
Indeed. Cabbage leaves.
But wait! It gets better:
Players may now only wear cabbage by presenting a doctor's note in advance.
A note from your doctor. That's all you need!
But, why, why would one put cabbage in their hat? Where, oh where, could this knucklehead idea come from?
He began keeping cabbage leaves in his cap last year after hearing that US baseball legend Babe Ruth used them to keep cool on the field.
I'm speechless.
