Yer Outta Here! Baseball & The Law

George Will wrote an interesting column Thursday, describing the umpire crew's position as the judiciary branch of the diamond. Reading the article (which has prompted me to add the partially reviewed book to my Amazon list) reminded me of the world-famous student article "The Common Law Origins of the Infield Fly Rule." [UPenn RAISE UP!]

Here's my question for you, BBL Illuminati: if law was a sport, what sport would it be, and why?

  1. The law would be bad mitton because people in law school were the ones the jocks laughed at in gym class, when deep down, they were hardcore serious about their sport.

  2. What is "bad mitton?" Do you mean Badminton? That is a very intensive sport.

  3. Bobsledding. You slide really fast with little control of your direction, but you usually make it out without any serious injuries.

  4. Basket weaving .... fun for some, but unlikely to get you a real job

  5. Golf: little movement, but tons of stress.

  6. The fact that you mention George Will and suggest his hyper-biased view of the world is indicative of anything stronly suggests how biased your view of reality must be also. You probably believe Sarah Palin has an IQ greater than a cucumber also.
