Could you add a few details on the life and death of Louis IX.

[Tapate50]

I reckon I missed that Carpenter had been relegated to bench duty.

They got a lot of tall pitchers.

They can be pro basketball team.

Volleyball person persons too.

No Teen Week article is complete without head shots and favorite hobbies...maybe past crushes as well?

[AerchAngel]

Volleyball person persons too.

No kidding.

Our 1b player when I am not playing it (3b, SS, Right Center) he is a very serious volleyball player and 6'8", but the dude in 10 years did not hit one single homer in softball but a decent hitter. I am 6'1" and I had a lot of them. If you played baseball, you have a significant advantage in softball on bat speed.

But we won a few championships with 50+ year olds including me. They ask me to play volleyball. I am like nah, at least in softball I get a break, you don't in volleyball. The older I got, the slower I got.
