All these disgusting photos of him romping around the bases with his erect penis exposed, and that revolting statue of him outside Three Rivers Stadium having sexual congress with a Great Dane, and the vile speech he gave at his HoF induction ceremony thanking in foul and highly detailed language every Baseball Annie (and Baseball Arnie) he ever had a hotel orgy with --WTF is up with this guy? He’s just gross!
Forget your meds this morning?
:rolleyes:
Satire is funny.
Wake me up when it starts.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
Who is this Bill Mazeroski guy? A quick Google search shows him to be some kind of baseball player, but I’ve never heard of him. He must be pretty obscure, I guess.
Ditto.
I’m certainly not Miss Up-on-everything board, but unless this lab dude is on a tear of stupid thread-startings or something, I don’t see the pitting fodder in the linked thread.
.
Well he’s no Bobby Richardson.
No… generally it isn’t. It’s the bastard stepchild of comedy, and rarely funny at all. Good satire is as rare as hen’s teeth. Hell, even Gulliver’s Travels barely stands up as satire, simply because even in its own day it was rather obscure and silly. (Now, A Modest Proposal is really good satire.)
OK, I’ll spell it out for you. The linked thread asks why an athlete who has been elected to the Hall of F-A-M-E (read that last word very carefully) is so obscure. It asks why someone who has been elected to the very highest level of F-A-M-E in his profession is unknown. I find that funny, and am speculating on an only slightly sillier proposition, and one with more humorous visuals.
Swing and a miss.
I got the joke.
And it was moderately amusing.
<insert golf clap here>
To be fair there are a number of HoF members who have faded into obscurity or at the very least are only remembered by their hometown fans.
Not compared to non-HoF members, really. The HoF keeps your legend alive. If you’re a weaker member of the HoF, or a controversial one (both of which apply to Maz), then yeah, you’ll be LESS famous than Babe Ruth, but obscure? Hardly.
Nonsense. This is Wiki’s list pf Hall of Fame members, and I’ve never heard of lots of them, and I used to be a serious baseball fan.
My grandmother’s (on my mom’s side) second husband, for many years, regularly played golf with Mazeroski. Or so he said. Now, it seems, I know what they were really up to.
You’d be amazed the uses you can put a 9-iron to.
Don’t any of you people have Facebook pages?
(I don’t, so I have an excuse for posting absurd crap here, instead of subjecting a willing audience to it)
That guy sure liked to knock one out with his cock bone out. When he had only two balls against him, it usually meant the other guys hadn’t arrived yet. His idea of a Gold Glove was pissing on Clemente’s mitt between innings.
He truly was one of baseballs obscenest players.
“My Mazeroski does 185…”
