Been playing online lately and needed 55 points to win the match. Triple Word - That was a close one!

DIFFERENT RULES FOR DIFFERENT GAMES!! Appears that Baseball has DIFFERENT RULES FOR DIFFERENT TEAMS. All baseball fields are not the same size. While the infield, including the distance between bases and the pitching mound, is standardized, the outfield dimensions can vary significantly. Here's why and some key differences: • Standardized Infield: The infield, with the diamond and pitching mound, is the same size in all MLB fields. • Variable Outfield: The distances from home plate to the outfield fences can vary, particularly in the right and left field areas. • Minimum Distances: MLB has mandated minimum outfield distances, but teams can still make variations within those limits. • Stadiums and Land: Many old stadiums were built to fit into existing urban spaces, leading to unique and often quirky dimensions. • Tradition and Change: Some teams have altered their field dimensions to create a more neutral playing environment, while others have maintained their historic designs. • Example: Petco Park (San Diego) has a center field distance of 396 feet, while Oriole Park at Camden Yards (Baltimore) has a right-field distance of 318 feet, according to MLB.com. The outfield wall dimensions and heights can vary considerably from ballpark to ballpark. Here are some reasons why: • Historical and geographical reasons: Early ballparks were built in urban areas with limited space, leading to unique shapes and dimensions, including varying fence heights. • Unique park features: Teams might build higher fences in shorter sections of the outfield to prevent easy home runs or create other interesting quirks for their stadium. • Home field advantage: Teams can create outfield dimensions that suit their players and game strategy, contributing to a home-field advantage. So, it appears on the surface that Baseball, although it has a set of rules, Teams have determined how far the outfield can be. They also can determine how high the wall at the outfield can be. This leads to the question of home run records: How far were the outfield walls and at what height were they when each of the current home run leaders obtained those Home Runs? Career Home Run Record: • Barry Bonds also holds the MLB career home run record with 762. He surpassed Hank Aaron, who hit 755, on August 7, 2007.

I see where @Alpo is coming from. Am I correct that in basketball, a player is not allowed to extend their hand over the rim of the net to prevent the ball from going in. That area directly above the net is restricted.* The same principle applies in Tennis. The "net" represents the retricted area.** Theoretically, in baseball, one could then apply the same rule that the "wall" represents that restricted area. Just saying. Basketball: * A player cannot touch the ball if it is in the imaginary cylinder above the ring. These are examples of basket interference. It is legal to touch the ring or the net if the ball is above the ring and not touching the ring, even if the ball is in the imaginary cylinder above the ring. Tennis: ** A player shall concede the point when: A ball in play touches that player; • That player touches the net or opponent's court while a ball is in play; • That player hits a ball before it crosses the net; • That player deliberately carries or double hits a ball; or • A ball bounces more than once in that player's court.

Ann and I are going for a swim this afternoon.

If you are ever in an alley playing "Craps" and you lose all your money, I'm sure you'll leave saying to yourself, "Holy Crap!" [no "s"]

When individuals follow the reactions of others, several terms describe this behavior: Herd Mentality: Also known as mob or crowd mentality, this is when individuals adopt the behaviors, beliefs, or attitudes of the majority within a group, sometimes disregarding their own judgment. Herd mentality can lead to actions without planned direction, simply acting as a group. Conformity: This involves adjusting thoughts, feelings, or behaviors to align with others or established standards. It is a type of social influence where individuals align their behavior with the perceived norms or expectations of a group. Bandwagon Effect: This is when people do something primarily because others are doing it, regardless of their own beliefs. Behavioral Contagion: This refers to the rapid copying of the activities of one or a few people by others in the vicinity, often with little analysis of the situation. It can be a spontaneous and uncritical imitation of another's behavior.

Now we know the source of some of @Alpo Posting Questions.

They were said to enjoy fishing together as well.

I noticed that one of the top movies that year was:

To celebrate, you need to buy yourself a new piece of furniture.

@Blackwater 53393: Although we're not particularly fond of the Chevy Suburban, I did some online search and found: [not saying it's not true, but such is the issue of internet searches.] No, a Chevrolet Suburban 2500 HD (or any Suburban model) cannot be configured to tow 22,500 lbs. The maximum towing capacity of the most recent Suburban models, even with the Max Trailering Package, is significantly less than that, typically around 8,300 lbs. While some larger GM trucks, like the Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, can achieve towing capacities in the range of 22,500 pounds when properly equipped with a gooseneck or fifth-wheel hitch and the Duramax diesel engine, the Suburban is not designed for such heavy loads. Achieving a 22,500 lb towing capacity typically requires a vehicle like a Ford F-450 Super Duty or a similar heavy-duty pickup truck.
