A friend of mine tried out for the Cubbies. He didn’t make it. Still, he threw a wicked ball. He bounced one off my leg once, and I thought my leg was broken. I think of that moment whenever I see a player take one in the head.
My personal experience is that those who wouldn’t darken the door of a gym have no qualms about denigrating those of us who are regulars there. Unfortunately, the fit are subject to the same behavior. Human nature.
My sister had a cat that loved to jump into whatever you happened to be reading when he came by. Magazines, books, he didn’t care.
