Andy Rooney: wrong on so many levels...

Andy's Love For Our National Pastime

Love? Hmmm... "I've never been much of a baseball fan myself."

"Every time I see a game on television, the manager is walking out on the field to butt in." That's one of the best parts of the game. Who doesn't like Lou Piniella acting like a complete idiot?

"most of the world doesn’t know baseball from ping pong?" That's just wrong.

But he's right on here: "Cricket is not played in many countries either of course but that's because cricket makes hopscotch seem exciting."

After you get done with that, check out Andy--are you ready for this?--complaining about the weather again...

What's Your Favorite Season?

How does Smiff get this job? Granted, Andy is probably good for another 20 years, but by that time i'll be approaching retirement and will need sumfing for my autumn years. Who is going to start the write-in campaign?

Andy Rooney in bizarro world

A no-hit game for me

Most ridiculous line: "It seems like a major mystery that baseball has never caught on in other countries the way it has here." Though a few sentences earlier he states all of the stars are named Rodriguez. Where does he think those players come from? Or that baseball in Cuba has thrived for decades? Or that the Japanese are absolutely insane for the game?

Really, what a maroon. He honestly gets paid to write this brain-dead garbage?

(Though cricket is duller than hopscotch.)
