Even the Eli faithful got into the act, peppering the ice with hangers in honor of their graduating goalie. The pelting earned their team two minor delay-of-game penalties late in the third period, which effectively killed any chance of a Yale comeback...
...hard it is to throw the guy. I mean he weighs at least 90 or 95 pounds, and no one has ever tossed him over. Not even me.i says Sean. Incidentally, at six feet seven inches, weighing two hundred and eighty-some pounds and lacking both front teeth (a minor boxing incident), Sean also holds the record for tossing Beetlejuice, isome seven to eight feet, although he likes to say itis something like 12.i Some digging on the Internet reveals allegations that seem to indicate that some tiny tossees have served as human projectiles for distances exceeding 35 feet...

And teenagers have contributed to this shift by committing so many of them--or at least so many horrific ones.

The rest of the teams will have folded long before the end of the century, and only these four megalopolises will have the population base, and thus the cash, to support utility infielders making $100 million a year. The minor leagues will flourish too, in such cities as Toronto and Seattle, where ancient ballparks like the Skydome and Safeco Field will allow fans to remember simpler times, when the game was pure and hitters actually had to run the bases, back before the advent of designated feet...
