I think a big problem with enforcing no-trolling rules is the difficulty identifying true trolls and differentiating them from your garden-variety dumbass/weirdo/douchebag. I think most posters generally regarded as trolls are just really shitty posters.

What about return bans?>
 
Any baseball guys in here in between the weird posts?

After years it’s finally time to get me a new glove and might as well get the best (I’m coming from an A2000) and I’m thinking Nokona, great heritage, Made in USA, looks awesome can’t go wrong. They can actually break it in for you and have it game ready but I have my own tactics....

Digging the blond at the moment..

But their customizer is bananas, you can really baller it up and go with the kangaroo, Japanese cake or sting ray skin

Cubano Boxing >>> Beisbol

Kid Gavilan, Jose Napoles, Luis Manuel Rodriguez are all among my top six or seven professional welterweights of all-time. The Olympic Gold haul alone is also just fucking filthy. So many "What If's" in there had they been able to or chose to go professional:

3x - Teofilo Stevenson (Heavyweight)
3x - Felix Savon (Heavyweight)
2x - Guillermo Rigondeaux (Bantamweight)
2x - Angel Herrera (Featherweight/Lightweight)
2x - Hector Vinent (Light Welter)
2x - Ariel Hernandez (Middleweight)
2x - Mario Kindelán (Lightweight)

Then of course there's single-medal winners such as Yuriorkis Gamboa, Joel Casamayor, Robeisy Ramirez amongst many others. Andres Aldama is probably best known for getting beat by Sugar Ray Leonard in '76 but he is known because he was that talented, nasty nasty left hook; he won gold in 1980. 34 Gold Medals alone in total. Olympic boxing has been going on since 1904 and Cuba only started competing in it since when, 1960?

I met Gamboa at Atlantis in the Bahamas before his downfall...what a wasted and mismanaged career.

-Sugar Ramos FW champ in 63, killed a man in the ring after a KO he it just head on the bottom rope and died whiplash to the brain stem...crazy
-Kid Chocolate who taught himself to box watching films. Won the junior LW title in 31. He is the OG Kid Chocolate
- Jose Nápoles was THE guy. 69 WW champ and reigned undisputed for 6 years. Only 2 loses and one was a challenger a weight class up. 81-7 54KO’s

You looking forward to the return of Kid Dynamite?
 
Do you play softball?
I play catch maybe twice a year, I played on a coed softball team a couple summers ago just for fun. Someone had a pink glove and I’ve coveted it ever since.

also I’m a lefty, not sure if they make left handed ones

That's a little rich for El Feo, IMO. I'd say borderline for Gavilan, too, but I know a lot of others would agree with you.

Of course they do! They make gloves for ambidextrous pitchers. The have catchers gloves as well in pink

A good tinder loop makes your potential date laugh but also depresses her enough to consider dating you.

Is the inside of it autographed? The old one I used (that someone gave me) was autographed.

On the heels of what if’s there’s so many Cuban baseball players who were too proud to play with the “yankis” after the revolution and the world never knew their greatness

The best ever was my own hometown (name here And known for baseball) is Orestes Kindelan. Hit the longest homer on record at Atlanta Fulton in the 1996 Olympics, 3,893 total bases, almost 500 homers....this man with the American diet and coaching expertise could have been one of the greatest....same with Antonio Pacheco (again from Palma Soriano) never wanted to defect but now is a coach in the Yankees system (funny if you know his history). Being born in Palma Soriano and surrounded by so much talent my love for baseball started pretty much at birth

Cristóbal Torriente was probably better than any of them, and I think definitely would have been a HOFer if he'd had a shot.

Ed: I mean, he is in the HOF, but I think there would have been no doubt he'd put up HOF numbers in the majors.
