What are your thoughts on the possible renaming of Wrigley Field? I'm kind of mixed. The name Wrigley Field has so much history behind it, but even that wasn't the original name of the stadium. Before the 1927 renovation (when Wrigley was one of the controlling owners), it was Cubs Field, and prior to that Weeghman Park (Weeghman was the owner who actually built it). So, it is a commercial name in a way, but I think two things besides the long...

At last the supreme court is challenging the right to bear arms of citizens.

I hope it will uphold it. I do not disagree with you as far as the historical context, but that right is still in the constitution, and there is a due process in place to change it. If it is the country's desire to remove that as a protected right, they need to go through the steps to pass a constitutional amendment to change it.

There is a specially designed maneuvering unit allows a shuttle astronaut on a space walk to move about using small nitrogen thrusters that are controlled by the astronaut's hands. Based on the law of action and reaction how might the thrusters work? They would probably fire rockets opposite of the astronauts movement. So if they moved their hand left, a thruster on the right would fire, pushing the astronaut left. This would be a very high-tech piece of gear, designed by smart engineers who probably did their own homework when they were in school.

Do you think Don Larson's perfect game in the 1956 World Series was the greatest World Series performance ever? If not, who had a better single World Series game performance? Since you said "single game", I would have to agree with you. Reggie Jackson's 3 home runs was very impressive, but I would put the perfect game ahead of that.

Is your GPS worth it? Not sure if this is the type of GPS you mean, but I have a sport GPS for when I exercise. It is fantastic because it works for running, biking, or any other sport involving movement. It is much more reliable than my bike speedometer, I can map out the courses I run and use it to keep myself on pace. Definitely a great training tool.

Parallax is the apparent motion of a nearby star compared with very distant background stars 6 months apart - when the earth is on opposite sides of its orbit.

During close series in the playoffs, you will often here people talk about starters pitching again on "3 days rest", which is considered very short. Occasionally you will also have starters come back and pitch...

Answer to:
Why is it called the World Series when only the US plays in it? Back in the 1880s when the term originated, pro baseball wasn't being played anywhere else in the world, so it was somewhat arguable then. Business promoters were just as willing to stretch the truth then as now!

Take a look at league-leading home runs before and after 1920 (http://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/HR_leagues.shtml) and the change is very apparent.
