Baseball and R and B
I am not anti-woman. I do have some women friends who are not just lesbians, but I just got a message from a friend asking where I have been. I am in my own little world, she knows she knows where I go but does not know how to reach a lot of the times. but I asked her since we both grew up on 90’s r and b was she a boys to men kind of gal or Jodeci, it became a heated debate a fun one, then I had it, so I was like you are either a Bobby Bonilla kind of girl or a Barry bonds kind of girl, you are either a Nolan Ryan kind of girl or a Randy Johnson. You are either Arod or Jeter, she picked Jeter and said he was cute, I was like Arod has a better swing for me he is also good with the glove and has a better A*( and his is more. adaptable being he changed positions he could play outfield. He is a complete player. AROD is textbook baseball with an amazing flare where he has a style all his own. But Jeter is a mix of Ripken and Ozzie Smith in his ability at shortstop and it is magical but Arod I do not need to say anymore I told her, but Griffey has the best swing of all time someone should paint it and put it in a museum it would be the mona Lisa of baseball.

Fun Fact: I never got to see Griffey Jr play but I saw a couple of times Arod and Jeter and it was a masterpiece for my eyes, it was like with each play the Yankees were completing this painting for all to see this was Americas favorite pastime and why. It was so vivid and captivating it still takes my breathe away that my baseball cards came to life like when I met Darryl Strawberry. I just love sports of course I am going to compare it to the literary and visual arts. Arts are sports and sports are arts.
