Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Wow - Ty Cobb could be the most misunderstood athlete of all-time. Really changed my mind on the man.

- Chart to help determine risk of bear attack.

- How funny would it be if the Laugh Factory asked the ACLU to file a First Amendment complaint against the Clinton Campaign? Just another reason to vote against Hillary.

Top 5 - Baseball Players from Georgia

Here are who I consider the top 5 baseball players born in Georgia.

1. Ty Cobb - love him or hate him - he was one of the greatest players of all-time
2. Jackie Robinson - do I have to explain?
3. Frank Thomas - certain to be a Hall of Famer. 508 HR and climbing
4. Bill Terry - Hall of Fame 1st baseman
5. Moises Alou - 6-time All-Star

I could have picked pitchers Kevin Brown or Kenny Rogers for the 5th spot but both those guys are jerks.

File this under "You Learn Something New Every Day" - there really was a Crash Davis but he wasn't a catcher.
