On Major League, was the line "Where you think you're goin meat?" "Bout 90 feet."??????

Yes that is the line, but he actually meant he was going to steal second base.  He was already on first.

I agree with you, but as far as baseball goes, they didn't "catch on" (which isn't a good thing) until the early-mid 80's. I know myself, no joking of a few players who used steroids to get ripped, as in muscle tone and bat speed, and running speed as well as to prolong thier careers. It is a much different "cycle" than those looking to be huge and monsterous. I'll give you a clue on one of them, he played for the Reds and Tigers and his name rhymes with Derek Shavis. People think ball players tak it for one reason: to hit homers. But the effects are much more potent and better when you try to use it for endurance and to get "chisled". How do I know this, I have studied baseball for 10 of my 20 years on this planet, and I have met and talked to a lot of ball players. It doesn't however make it better to not use it to bulk up, but look at why runners use it and marathoners. Imagine trying to run 26.2 miles and having it feel like 5 miles. Imagine the extra step when you are trying to steal a base? Imagine a few more mph on an outfield throw to get runners out? Or maybe even the extra step to run out a long fly ball. Those are the people MOST don't know about. When a player takes it to bulk, they have one thing on their mind: home runs. So my point is they are both cheaters and punks.

According to the transcript of the skit, they don't give the right fielder's name, so I don't know...\n\n..."third base!"

There was Red Sox fan who was feeling pretty down on himself. For whenever saw a Yankee fan in their obnoxious pinstripe jerseys walking down the road, he would swerve and pretend to hit them. \n\n\nAs the man is driving on he sees a Priest walking down the road. Feeling he should do something good, he stops next to the priest. \n\n"Where are you heading Father, can I give you a lift?" \n\nThe priest replied, "I'm heading to the Mass two miles down the road." \n\nAs they’re driving along the man sees a Yankee fan walking down the road, instinctively, he swerves to hit them. He knows he did not hit them, but still hears a loud THUMP. \n\nHe says, "I'm sorry Father, I should not have tried to hit that Yankee fan." \n\n"That's ok," replied the priest, "I got him with the door."

I went to an Angels game about 15 years ago and got Dante Bichette's(Right Fielder) attention during pre-game warm ups.  I lied and told him that I was "Joe Mcintrye" from the New Kids on the Block.  He bought it and took me on the field, down into the dugout and in the locker room!  Here I am, a 16 year old frightened kid who is staring the likes of Brian Downing, Dave Winfield and Wally Joyner right in the face inside thier own locker room!  I actually saw Jim Abbott naked lying on the trainers table!  Dante even took me out after the game and bought me dinner at TGI Fridays.  I was scared shitless because if anyone found out, I would be in a heap of trouble!  At least I pulled it off and it is something I can tell my kids someday!

Oh yeah!\n\nAnd, by the way, earl seems to have found Heaven! :-))\n\nShort of being there, my favorite is to put the game on TV, shut the sound off on the TV, and listen to the play-by-play on the radio.\n\nYou captured it exactly, I won't restate it - you've got it!\n\nI first got sucked into baseball when I was a courier. Driving around, on lovely summer evenings, way out in the middle of nowhere. Nothing but deer, or Amish buggies on the road, other than me :-))\n\nCouldn't get too much on the radio, except - baseball! I learned about the game, and learned to love it.\n\nSince there were no visuals, the announcers made their descriptions so VIVID.\n\nI used to go to the old Cleveland Stadium. It's gone now. Could hold 80,000 people. \n\nThe Indians usually s*ck, so sometimes there'd be 3,000 people in the whole place. :-))\n\nI'd sneak down into the "good" seats, right behind home plate (I mean, the whole place was just EMPTY!) and the guys who were supposed to chase us out of there would just come and sit down next to me, share my peanuts, and yak to me about the game :-)) Heaven!\n\nThey don't announce anymore, but when I first started listening, Herb Score and Nev Chandler did the announcing for Cleveland. \n\nThe announcers make all the difference in the world.\n\nThose two were so knowledgeable, yet seemed so friendly, and so kind. They seemed to respect ALL the players, regardless of team, and to just know what it's like. I hate it when the announcers snipe at the opposing team. That just is not the spirit of baseball, as I understand it!\n\nLast year I called my cable company in February and asked them when I could sign up for their baseball package. They laughed at me,  and said, "Wishful thinking!" But, the very first day their "Early-bird Special" was available, they called me, and asked me if I still wanted it! :-)) I signed right up!\n\nI guess I've said enough about THIS! :-)) I think you get my drift :-))

One game does not a season make. There is always tomorrow.\n\nYou may enjoy this game, but it aint over yet.\n\nP.S.:\n\nEVEN if we (The Tigers) did lose, we would still have the BEST RECORD IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL! and still be in first place!!!\n\n\nnext day; ken griffy jr hits a grand slam--reds up by one!\n\nThen, as usual, my boys come back. Granderson hit a solo shot in the bottom of the ninth to tie.\n\nTigers win it in the bottom of the 10th.\n\nTIGERS STILL HAVE THE BEST RECORD ON BASEBALL AND ARE STILL IN FIRST PLACE!\n\nwe'll talk more Sunday.\n\n\nWELL WELL WELL--IT LOOKS LIKE THE TIGERS PUT THE SMACK DOWN ON THE REDS!\n\nYEAH, BABY! 2 OUT OF 3! THE TIGERS MAINTAIN THE BEST RECORD IN BASEBALL! AND THE WHITE SOX LOSS TO THE CUBS, WE ARE NOW IN FIRST PLACE ALL ALONE! CAN YOU SAY GOODBYE WHITE SOX?\n\nsha na na sha na na...hey hey...GOODBYE!

The strike of 1994 really hurt MLB and it's attendance. In 1998 when McGwire and Sosa were chasing Maris's single season HR record,  it brought fans back to the game. MLB commissioner Bud "The DUD" Selig didn't want to upset the flow of $$$$$ generated by the long ball, therefore, even though he knew what was happening, he decided to do nothing. It's only because of recent publications of books like "Juiced" and "Game of Shadows" Selig was forced to finally take a stand.

Some years ago, my platoon sergeant took us on an unbelievably long, hilly run for pt.  After a while, one of the squad leaders asked how long we were going to run.  My platoon sergeant replied, "Until we stop."\nIt's an old line, been used many times before and since; but it applies just the same.

Their really isn't one correct answer to this question, I'll try to explain. I’ll start with the home run that Mickey Mantle hit at Griffith Stadium in Washington on April 17, 1953. The entire baseball world was led to believe the ball had traveled 565 feet from home plate to the point where it landed.\nIn truth, that figure derived from the distance from home plate to the place where a neighborhood child retrieved the ball. However, the actual distance in the air was probably about 510 feet (most sources still have this as #1). The same process happened again with Mantle on September 10, 1960 at Briggs Stadium in Detroit when a ball he hit was reported to have traveled 643 feet but it is readily apparent once again that the ball had bounced several times before it reached the estimated distance (this is the home run that the "Guinness Book of Records" has as #1). When your talking about tape measure home runs you can’t leave out Babe Ruth. It was said that Ruth once hit one 587 feet in an exhibition game against the Giants back in 1919. Also his tremendous blow to right-center field in Detroit on June 8, 1926, has often been reported as traveling 628 feet, but again was it measured where it first landed or where it came to a rest. Included among the other great exaggerations in the history of tape measure home runs are Dave Nicholson’s Comiskey Park rooftopper on May 6, 1964 who’s shot was calculated at 573 feet. The calculations were on the assumption that the ball traveled completely over the left-center-field roof. However, subsequent\ninvestigation indicated that the ball landed on the back of the roof before bouncing out into the night. Also, when Dave Kingman launched his wind-aided blow in Chicago’s Wrigley Field on April 14, 1976, "The New York Times" somehow concluded that it had flown 630 feet. It has been confirmed that the ball struck against the third house beyond Waveland Avenue, which is situated about 530 feet from home plate. Yet another claim (by the "Guinness Book of Records"), has a minor league player by the name of Roy Edward "Dizzy" Carlyle having hit one 618 feet at Emeryville Ball Park, CA on July 4, 1929. Mark McGwire hit several home runs over 500 feet and one over 540 and his is measured accurately every time he hits one. I know I didn’t cover everything but I hope I covered enough to satisfy you.\n\nAlso, Mantle's home run off the facade at Yankee Stadium on May 22, 1963 traveled between 370 to 374 feet and was between 115 to 117 feet high. If it was still going up like some people claim it would have traveled an estimated distance of 620 feet if left unimpeded. However, the reality is that the ball was already on its way down, and those reporting the trajectory were victimized by a common optical illusion. It is a scientific fact that if Mantle, or anyone else, had sufficient strength to hit a ball that was still traveling upward when it met the towering facade, he would also have enough strength to clear that same facade by a distance of at least 100 feet. In order for the ball to be rising at roof level, it would have to have been traveling at a lower angle than that which produces maximum distance. If Mantle had provided the same power or velocity, but had launched the ball at a higher and more efficient angle, it would have passed out of Yankee Stadium at a height of over 200 feet! Mantle hit the facade on two or perhaps three occasions, but never cleared it.\nSource(s):\nYou can also go to:\n\nhttp://www.baseball-almanac.com/feats/ar...

it depends on the stadium, that is if u are talking about mlb.  the infield is 60.5 from the pitchers mound to home plate, and 90 feet between bases.

Nowt to do with the answer you seek, but interesting that Long is quoted in my local paper as using the word "just" no less than ten times in 4 short sentences.  Better than most RL and soccer players' "y'know" repetition in interviews!  \nLions' tails between legs tomorrow.  I feel sorry for them. But hopeful too. Could have done with Rob Burrow alongside Danny Mc.
