'Safe'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
This is the guy who had a ball he was trying to field bounce off his head and into the stands for a home run. I don't want him bodyguarding anybody.
One ball bouncing off his head versus volunteering for repeated pounding to the face? Who would you want as a bodyguard?
Sparky1, thanks.
Porn for nerds.
Dude, she's got some life experience backing up her judgments. How many American judges have worked in sweatshops?
As a twelve-year-old, she accompanied her mother to a hearing for a man accused of assaulting her mother. That she and her mother had no idea how to find their way around the courthouse and that there seemed to be no information available to those who did not speak English left a lasting impression on her.
In high school, Ling-Cohan worked part time as a seamstress and a threadcutter in the sewing factories of Chinatown. Supporting herself, she studied psychology at Brooklyn College and received her degree summa cum laude in 1976. She went on to New York University School of Law on a full scholarship, graduating in 1979.
Gus, she may not be blonde, but she might have inherited a wicked good matzoh-ball soup recipie from her MiL.

Cohan = Irish
Cohen = Jewish
No?
How quickly we forget the July 24 brawl game! N.b. I don't actually approve of fighting in baseball, but if you're an AL East fan, you have no shortage of full-contact.
Hence my use of the word "ostensibly". Ty Cobb sliding in cleats up certainly puts a lie to baseball never being a contact sport. As does the picture they used on the cover of the King/O'Nan book. I LOVE that picture - only Jeter would have been a worthier glove-to-smug-face target (if only the catcher had figured out a way to get a cream pie in his glove beforehand).

No, I mean, Jose Canseco's coordination is so crappy that, with his arms up over his head, he can't catch a ball that subsequently hits him on the head. Both hands, and he totally whiffed the ball.
Now, maybe boxers are suckers, but at least they can usually perceive an object coming towards them well enough to, like, duck.

Hmph. I know this is the enduring image of Canseco in the outfield, but having watched him play regularly from his second season until he left the A's, I need to note that he was a thoroughly competent, even better-than-average fielder when he came up. There was some talk of moving him from right field to centerfield for a while, even. He had a strong and accurate arm, also.

OK, you could flip those last two. Call it a tie.
eta: (Cohan ==Irish, Cohen==Jewish) Sure. Not that they are mutually exclusive.

I don't think you can tell, anymore. Ellis Island, etc., didn't have much quality control over spelling.
