Baseball Can Kill You

Apparently about 900 people have died playing or watching baseball in the last 145 years.

One, a shortstop in 1902, took a grounder to the throat, and before expiring actually gunned out the runner who hit it.

It's not quite payback, but at least the guy who took him out didn't improve his batting average.

A Few More Super Bowl Thoughts
I was beaten to the punch here, but let me just add ...

1. The best thing about Super Bowl XLIV to me is that it totally destroyed the pre-game coventional wisdom. Everyone who picked the Colts -- everyone -- did so because of Peyton Manning. The Colts have Peyton, therefore it's just short of a foregone conclusion they will win. That's what it felt like at least.

Super Bowl XLIV Observations
The Saints defense was the story, mostly shutting down the Colts in the second half and stopping them on their final three drives. The biggest stand was probably when the Colts were up one and moving the ball into New Orleans territory, but were forced into a 4th and 11 where they attempted an ill-advised 50-yard field goal. The next drive was the pick-six and the final drive didn't matter much, but the Colts never did get into the end zone to make it a one-score game and have the chance for an onside kick.
