Apr 8 2023 - Sliding In

 

Did changing the baseball rules get the results they wanted?  There were dozens of articles on what the rule changes are so I became very familiar with what was about to transpire.   I thought I'd find out what the results are and found one article - from Sports Illustrated on the results.  Given they are the sports source, it was a great article. And they say the new rules make the game more exciting.  Which is what they wanted. The first benefit was that the Dodgers and Angels game took just over two hours instead of three hours. The pitch timer cut 25 minutes of dead time out of minor league games.  And another big question?  Would they sell less in concession sales with those big dollar beers?  They had no significant decline.  Fans had already been leaving the game early before the end.  Now the game is ending on time. There were more good results from the changes, too. The article says that the game has returned to its aesthetic best - that was in the 198os. The article is HERE.  I have to think there might be hope in America - if baseball can make changes, think what might be possible next!   This is a bit of scuffed and scraped street curb and I have it a spring colour makeover.

Autumn Abstracts

I was in Niagara this past week and stopped along Highway 8 so that I could take some photos of the beautiful fields of purples, yellows and browns with asters and teasels everywhere.

Here are some of the images.
