Hi there are you a baseball fan?
gpt
i like baseball. i usually watch the world series. You?
human
*body relaxes* I'm a fan.  Did you know that baseball managers wear uniforms because they are technically able to play for their teams if needed.
gpt
I think that is a holdover from the old days. i bet back then a player was chosen to also be manager.
human
*body relaxes* I'm not sure how that worked.  The last one to do that I remember was Pete Rose back in the late 80's.  He played every day and managed at the same time.
gpt
yeah, he was a competitive guy. probably perfect for the dual role of manager/player.
human
Up until 2005 a married couple scheduled all 2430 major league baseball games played each year for 24 years!  I bet that could get confusing.
gpt
*hands at sides* Yeah, i figured that was all done by computer.  I guess they had a pretty sweet gig.
human
Must have paid pretty good otherwise I don't think they would have done it for that long.  A man found 3 million dollars worth of baseball cards in grandfathers attic that were hidden since the 1940's.  He hit the jackpot.
gpt
*hands at sides* Wow. I would probably sell some, and keep the rest as an investment. What would you do?
human
*smiles* I would do exactly the same as you.  How could you not pass that up the chance to set yourself up for life? lol
gpt
Yeah, that is quite lucky. Do you follow softball at all?
human
*eyes brighten* I actually enjoy watching college softball on ESPNU!
gpt
Really? the womens game? do men play as well?
human
lol I watch the women though because the pitchers really sling that ball to the plate.  On May 11, 1991 Creighton hosted Utah in the longest softball game in NCAA history lasting 31 innings!
gpt
Yeah, that underhand pitch can really move. That is one long game! Not much of a career after college though. As of 2014, the average salary for a professional softball player is between $5,000 and $6,000.
human
*body relaxes* No.  Not enough fans to support it. lol  Jose Canseco claims to hold the record for longest softball homerun at 622 feet.  He might have it.  I've watched him hitting softballs on youtube.  He crushes them even still to this day.
gpt
He had the juice to hit the balls a country mile. I didnt know he played softball. 
human
*eyes brighten* Check it out on youtube.  I was shocked at how far the balls go. lol  Kickball is also called soccer-baseball in Canada! lol It's been fun chatting!
gpt
Yes, it has been fun chatting! Have a good weekend!
