Show t The Mwgna Time, W'tst Valley New & Kearna Post, September 12, 2002 erendipity sports' mm iuhlujj - Thoughts u. by Dale Simons - The Bible something? If there average salary for Major League Baseball players is only $2 million a year, no wonder they are going cm strike, Who would want to play ball for such a paltry amount So, Jim Brown, perhaps the greatest running back ever, is out of jail? I hope he runs in the right direction now. He should turn right and go straight When Pete Gey, the outfielder, played in foe big leagues in foe mid 1940's they only paid him for the left side of his body. Ted Williams had an cm base average of .483. That was the best in history. He missed 801 games while in the military. Three years in World War II and 39 missions one-arm- ed of The Netherlands combined to win all five mens races during the two-daDesert season-openin- g Classic at the Utah Olympic Oval on Sept. 6-On Friday, Bjame had die best times in the 500 meters at 37.33 and the 1000 meters y, in the Korean War. His career average was 344. 1 wonder what he might have done? Sergio Garcias pre-shroutine before he hits foe golf ball has a lot in common with Chinese Water Torture. Paul Harming, foe former great running back for the Green Bay Packers is now a dedicated golfer. He is good, but his wife is better. When they play she has to give him force shots aside to make the match even. Randy johnson, foe h Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher quit basketball after his junior year of high schooL Could it be that he liked baseball better? I know lots of high school basketball coaches who would never understand that type of logical thinking. If foe WNBA players go on strike.foe 1,000 fens that go to every game will have to find somewhere else to spend their entertainment dollar. Perhaps Lacrosse or Hai Alai? If little League baseball coaches in New Jersey are asking their players to throw games, how long will it be before someone tries to fix foe, annual softball game between foe faculty and foe sixth grade girls? Simons Says : Since Ted Williams was buried with a baseball in his kind and has been cryogenically frozen, that would be the ultimate hidden ball trick." ot ot 10-inc- 7. local beginning skaters Jordan Leigh Olds won foe 500 meters in 5 1.5 1 and Becky Hoecherl captured the 1000 in 1:44.85 on Friday and then Hoecherl won Saturdays 500 in 50.08.

On Saturday, Brigt : claimed the 500 in 38.66 while Bjame captured the 1500 in 1:5 1.59. The Dutch brothers are part of the Ovals FAST program under the direction of coach Bart at Brigtand Bjame Rykkje As a man thirtieth. So is he" Ive been thinking again. Thinking about all the funny things that go on in sports. Here ate a few of them: 1 guess Serena and Venus Williams will take turns winning all the major women's tennis tournaments. You can tell who will win the next one. It will be the one who lest the last one. If Ted Williams is now frozen I guess that will finally put an end to his fluid swing. 1 hope they get his DNA thawed out in time for the World Series.
