Another ball to be given to a Legion Member!!!!
« on: July 10, 2006, 08:14:43 AM »
I thought about what I could use to determine the winner of the next ball. I think I have a pretty cool one. HOWEVER it is going to take a little bit of Rick's time....so hopefully he agrees to it.

FIRST...the ball.

I am giving away my Blue Heat. Anyone that has been reading the boards for awhile knows that I absolutely love this ball. The Solution that Buck won was used sparingly in comparison....the Blue Heat has roughly 50-60 games. It has grips...no thumb slug.
This ball has some use. There is a crack around the ring finger(it fell onto the floor once and that is where it hit). I don't think this would affect the ball at all. Besides...it will be free to the winner.

OK...to win this ball this is what has to occur

First...guess how fast Rick (tenpinspro) ran a 50 yd dash in 4th grade. Remember folks...this was about 63 years ago....

Second...How many ballreviews members has Rick spoken to on the telephone in the time he has been a  BR member.

I do not know the answer to either of these...and both of them allow anyone that knows Rick to still take part.

As with the last one....the winner will be the closest on BOTH WITHOUT going over....if you are over on either you are OUT!

-Carl

PS- only one guess per person.

hmm, let's see....

factor in his weight times height minus the hair (he probably had an afro = wind drag unless he had it braided )....ummm... pair of worn PF Flyers ... if he was being chased by a bunch of kids wanting to kick his (*&^ ... deduct 3 seconds, otherwise add 5.  Oh, one more thing... if he was running home to catch the mailman to cut off the delivery of Truant letter from school... mofo ran hella fast!!!!

Honestly Carl, too difficult to judge!  Too many variables...

Question #2.... should I count the people in jail?

LOL...funny thing with age or may be my preliminary stages of Alzheimer's is that you can remember things way in the past, it's what happened yesterday that you have problems with.

Hint: Carl failed to mention whether or not I had 4 guys chasing me those 50 yards for my lunch money...lol

Okay guys, haven't looked at who's closest but if Dpat is closest I'm disqualifying him cause he's probably over heard me talking to Carl...  I actually had to sit down and figure out how many BR members I've spoken to...

I ran the 50 yard dash in 7.2 seconds and I have spoken to (with the best of my recollection) 42 people.  Have fun....

This is a trick question.

Time, as we know it, had yet to be recognized in seconds and minutes when he was that young because time was still measured with a sundial.
