We're going to an aquarium Sunday which should be fun.

When's the last time you ever missed winter during the other 3 seasons?

 

[milagros317]

Never happened. I never missed winter.

What is your favorite memory of something that happened in the spring?

 

[Edge]

In general, having spring break from school just because it was nicer weather after a long winter which is why I'm taking off the 3 days in April leading to Easter Weekend.

Do you think Easter is better off in March or April?

 

[milagros317]

It's better to have the holiday in April when it is likely to be warmer.

What insects do you dislike the most?

 

[Edge]

I dislike mosquitos because they are very annoying.

What's one thing you wish baseball would change?

 

[milagros317]

Eliminate the gift runner in extra innings.

What sport do you wish you could attend in person more often?

 

[Edge]

Hockey.

What's one game you went to that you regretted going to afterwards?

 

[Edge]

I don't have any but one game I'm glad I DIDN'T go to which I considered was Game 5 of the World Series this past season.

Who is one person you idolized growing up?

 

[milagros317]

Sandy Koufax

Who is one person you despised while growing up?

 

[Edge]

I don't think I despised a specific person but due to personal experience (like most people have) I started to despise alcohol due to seeing what it did to certain family members and people I knew.

When's the last time you woke up scared from a dream you had?

 

[milagros317]

About a month ago I had a dream of falling onto the subway tracks and being eaten by rats. 🐀 🐀

What is the scariest animal that you have ever seen in person?

 

[Edge]

Bear (from a long distance thankfully).

What's the one streak in baseball you think will never be broken?

 

[milagros317]

Number of consecutive years managing the same MLB team: 50, by Connie Mack, Philadelphia Athletics, 1901 to 1950.

In case you meant by players only:
Number of consecutive no-hit, shutout, complete game victories pitched in a row: 2, by Johnny Vander Meer, 1938, for the Cincinnati Reds.


What is the greatest accomplishment you have ever seen in person at a sports stadium?

 

[Edge]

I think when I saw Judge hit 2 home runs and almost a 3rd last year at a game. He is like a machine.

What's your hope for April?

 

[milagros317]

I hope to stay healthy and watch the Dodgers win lots of games. [Political stuff not mentioned here.]

Did you ever read the complete MLB rule on what is a legal bat?
If not, here it is:

"3.02 The Bat

(a) The bat shall be a smooth, round stick not more than 2.61 inches in diameter at the thickest part and not more than 42 inches in length. The bat shall be one piece of solid wood.

(b) Cupped Bats. An indentation in the end of the bat up to 1 1/4 inches in depth is permitted and may be no wider than two inches and no less than one inch in diameter. The indentation must be curved with no foreign substance added.

(c) The bat handle, for not more than 18 inches from its end, may be covered or treated with any material or substance. Any such material or substance that extends past the 18-inch limitation shall cause the bat to be removed from the game.

(d) No colored bat may be used in a professional game unless approved by the Rules Committee."

Well now I have read it so thank you.

What's the hardest occupation?

 

[milagros317]

Before it was taken over by robots, the hardest occupation was bomb disposal. 🤯

What is the occupation that you most admire?

 

[Edge]

Teachers because I thought about doing it many years ago and realized it's not easy.

What's your plans for the coming weekend?

 

[milagros317]

I will see three Cyclones home games, Friday to Sunday, against Wilmington.

Where will you go this weekend?
