Just a few things running thru my head, Feel free to add on ..lol

""If Baseball is a ""timeless"" game, Why do managers/coaches wear a wrist watch ?"
"" If MLB has a ""big papi"".... does the WNBA have a ""big mommy"" ?
"" If a woman wears pants (slacks) its called"' Fashion" , but If a man
wears a skirt its called ""crossdressing"" ?
"" If everyone drives a ""electric car"".. would that give a new meaning
to the Traffic Reporters Rush Hour report of ...""Gridlock"" on Route 95""?
"" If Football is a ""team game"" why do the Cleveland Browns uniforms have PLAYERS Names on them, and the TEAM Helmet's are blank ""?
""Why can a WC soccer player take his shirt off after a goal, and the
NFL fines players for their shirt tails out ""?
"" If a Post office worker goes POSTAL , would a Psychiatry Ward
worker go N U T S ?
"" Why does NASCAR have thousands of Axle-Rods, but MLB only has
one A-ROD "" ?
"" With all the HD Special Effects movies/tv's .. why do I still watch
& laugh @ (Black & white) Moe, Larry, and Curly ""?
"" With all the cameras and security in a bank..why do they STILL
chain the pens to the counter ""?
"" This years Triple Crown had Three Different Horses win but the same Number ( 8) win all three.. I wonder what that Pick 3 would pay ? Or

Why do they call it a "scratch" when a horse is out of a race?
What are they scratching?

And, how come there are four balls and only three strikes in baseball? It should be one of each.
And, what's with a "walk" when they jog to first base? They should call it a jog.

I won't even get going with football, but I'd like to know why they spend so much time touching helmets in the huddle. Is it a "guy" thing?

Why is it that football and basketball have referees and baseball has umpires.

Why can a pitcher throw at a batter and get a warning, and throwing a basketball(technical foul) or a football(15yd penalty) at another player will get you in more trouble, aren't they softer than a baseball?

Why is it called a "driveway" even though you park your car on it and a "parkway" even though you drive your car on it?

And I don't think men who wear skirts are called crossdressers, I believe they're called Scots.
