Defination of a superstar: Barry Bonds. he says he is better than Babe Ruth. I tend to agree. After all, Ruth had Lou Gehrig (baseball's all time leader in grand slams with 23) batting behind him. Bonds has the 81 year old Benito Santiago a.k.a. The Human Double Play Machine.

I did a little work in the bullpen on Sunday while waiting to play our game. I can throw my curveball, my psuedo-slider, a 4-seam fastball and a 6-seam slowball for strikes. I have no command of the standard 2-seam fastball. I cannot throw a split-fingered fastball or a knuckleball. I can only throw my fastball at about 70 mph. I am a right-handed Jamie Moyer. (My arm's kind of sore from throwing all those pitches. I should have iced my arm with a 10 lb bag of ice. I may need Tommy John surgery now.)

However, once I switch over to pitching with a softball, I become Pedro Martinez. Unhittable and completely dominating. Unfortunately, we usually play team pitching during our softball games, so I am getting my own teammates out. Nevertheless, a no-hitter is a no-hitter.
