9/10 of the crowd left and there were still more people there than the first Kings vs. Stars game last season.

I remember two or three times that there was a thunderstorm during a rec league baseball game and I was the poor schmuck that was the home plate umpire... Bboth managers were chewing my backside like a piece of gum...and I told both jerks that this will go the full 9 even if I had to learn to dog paddle... I did give the other two umpires a vote on when to end the game though...and one would ALWAYS side with me...
These two particular teams had managers that...if they went to THE Salvation Army on Christmas day...they'd be slapped... Any other manager(s) and I'd stop it after 5...4 1/2 if possible...because they were actually NICE to me (even while arguing a call)...
Tampa Bay should make that their goal horn.
Ummm....fail. Electricity is no joke at all. First it sounded like a missile hit. And if you say you wouldn't have done just the same I'd call you a liar. I work around electricity and it hurts like a son of a bitch when you get bitten. So if you say that you'd knowingly stay around a place where you could get hit by several million volts you're either a liar or stupid. The good news is you wouldn't feel it.

I once had lightening hit a power pole that was maybe 50 feet away from me. Easily the loudest and scariest thing I have experienced in my life. I would have run too if I was those baseball players.
That was no thunder, that was Walker Texas Ranger kicking the Bullpen door open.
Well, thunder or not, baseball players ARE wussies.
A prime example is injuries. A baseball player gets a frickin' hangnail, and he goes on the DL for a month or two. As opposed to hockey players, who we all know, are NAILS.
Like when Matti Norstrom lost a few teeth, went to the locker room to get patched up, and came back out for the next period of play (same game, of course!!). A more recent example is Scuderi getting slammed into the boards by the Devil himself, Mr. Steve Bernier.
Just sayin'.
