Baseball & Bees

[jonecoogan]

Did anyone else see the Astros/Padres game having to be delayed for an hour because of bees?I have followed baseball for a long time and I can safely say that I would never play in a swarm of bees!

Hi jonecoogan.

Are you aware that this is a forum dedicated to Stafford, a little town in England? We don't really have baseball here!

Also, the event you refer to is from July of last year. I'm intrigued as to what has made you bring it up now.

It is presumably this. There is a Stafford in Texas, near Houston, perhaps we could have forum-twinning....

One of the sponsored links is 'Lose four stone in three months' - I wonder how many Americans would know what a stone was? Just a thought...

I once got stung by a wasp playing cricket. That is about as close as i can relate to this tale!

 

[Gramaisc]

I don't believe you. A wasp playing cricket?...

Surely it was rugby.......

 

[zakkwylde87]

Yup! It was the infamous cricket playing wasp of Milford Hall Cricket Club. He was very jammy in the slips...

 

[basil]

So grasshoppers had their own club?........

I take it all back. It is possible to buy equipment specifically intended for the sport of Wasp Cricket. Whatever next?..
