    I raced here in my younger days. Just as an amateur. And I was only in the beginner class.

    Quote Posted by Bluegreen (here)
    I grew up playing baseball and loved everything about it. The lazy tempo of the game, long periods of time where nothing really happens and then oh! everything happens at once, and the pace of the game, which objectively never changes, becomes frenzied. The chess match, the pitcher and batter, the manager and manager, the outfield and situation. No time limit. The green grass and manicured infield, all beautiful and waiting to be tore up.
    You could replace the word Baseball here with Cricket, and nearly all this would apply to us on this side of the pond (as well as various other nations). It's strange how the two sports feel pretty much the same, and mean the same thing to those who love them.. but they bear little resemblance.

    We should have something about Cricket in this thread in my opinion! so for our American friends who have no clue what Cricket is:

    Usain Bolt also had a certain charisma that brought excitement to the sport.

    Eliud Kipchoge, aged 33, breaks the 2 hour marathon record — at last. It's unofficial (because he had pacemakers), but it's still a staggering performance from a staggering athlete. There were some who said this would never be done.

    And at the end (see the fun video!) he just keeps on running.
