Yeah, as soon as he took that step backwards and then another to start his jump it was a balk. Still, after seeing John Wall throw it into the ground like a toddler that was cool.

Yeah that was pretty funny. They also showed GWB from the 2001 WS and he threw it better than some of those other "athletes". I remember watching that WS and I was sooooooo happy to see the D'Backs take it.

And yeah, we would like to check out one of the shows. Almost went this last winter but something came up so we missed it.

Poor John. He looked like he'd never thrown a ball in his life. If only Grant Hill had thrown like that . . . Dirk at least had a little bit of form and his pitch made it across the plate without bouncing.

I was more amazed that this guy's throw was so accurate after the spinning flipping thing he did. If I had a different body and could do that kind of flip I'd be so disoriented I'd probably throw the ball toward the outfield somewhere.

Hehe, yeah I would have probably made a John Wall type throw if I could have done a flip like that. Not that I could do a flip, I did say if.

I'll show you cheap. Remember Stallone played soccer against the Nazis and won. That's right, I threw the Stallone card. Now who's cheap?Big Grin
