The most I was ever gunned at was 88mph, though I probably would waiver between about 85 and 90 at my best.

Unfortunately I never was able to learn another pitch well enough, and even 90mph fastballs start looking pretty fat when it's all you can throw.

Got to hit against several guys who could really bring it in college, and not surprisingly the hardest guys to hit against were the proverbial "crafty left handers"...

impressive! I believe you have thrown 88.

I ran a 4.7 40 in high school and they wanted me to play football. I liked baseball better.

lol

nah, ive said i have met Griffey on multiple occasions multiple times on this board over the last 8 or 9 years... you just have the attention span of a tater tot....

i mean the fvckin guy lived a quarter mile away from me

and i have the right to do whatever i want... i mean sh!t, you do it...

oh wait, thats right... you can, i cant... you met people, i didnt... you can throw 88-90, i cant throw 85...

same sh!t, different day...

guess what?

still dont care stuffer...

baseball cards....the new 401K for the unemployed.

todd is tall. So that's why I can believe 88. leverage.

wasn't 88 mph in back to the future as well?

actually they really arent...

cards from the 90s back never gain any value really... even Mantle RC cards, they stay the same unless someone comes along with a super high graded one like a PSA 9 or 10...

Jordan cards have gone up a bit but they even stalled... during Griffeys time, his cards shot up in price, especially the 89 Upper Deck, but then tanked as they all do... and have remained around 30 dollars (as i said, high grade ones can fetch a higher price, depending on population) for quite some time now....

newer cards on the other hand, can have some decent value to them, but they are mainly relic cards, auto cards, plate cards, numbered cards, ect... regular set cards arent worth much unless they are RC cards, and even then, arent all that valuable...

and they can lose value very quickly depending on the player...

i once bought a pack of Basketball cards and got a Darius Miles RC jersey card, beckett at the time listed it at 600 dollars, Don put it up on Ebay for me and i got 450 for it....

2 years later, it was worth 6 bucks....

you know why I would go fishing with evo? I don't want to fight him anymore I feel bad. but he knows a ton about nothing and it would be a fun 2 hours of just shooting the sh!t. Im sure I will feel differently tomorrow.

I think the Delorean needed to be going 88mph when it received the 1.21 Gigawatts.

Also no Google.

its DeLorean...

also no Google...

speaking of WPM, Katie can type 200... im not anywhere near that...

The fastest typist in the world in 2018 did 212 max. speed.

The all-time world record is 216.



Google.

No but between you and Hank it's 200 posts a day. That's impressive.

On one online typing platform, Brazilian Guilherme Sandrini reached a whopping typing speed of 241.82 wpm.

Sean Wrona set another record at the Ultimate Typing Championship with a speed of 256 wpm. Wrona has also unofficially beaten Blackburn’s endurance typing record by maintaining a speed of 174 wpm over a 50-minute duration. Though this record is not recognized by Guinness because it wasn’t monitored by their team.

Both of these incredible speed typers used the standard QWERTY to achieve these top speeds.

also Dan, it was 2005, not 2018...

So it was.

A decent typist can do 80 words per minute. Mark Kislingbury can hit more than four times that speed. He’s the fastest in the world, and getting faster. The 53-year-old Texan holds the world record for the “fastest real-time court reporter,” a standard he set in 2004 when he transcribed a staggering 360 words in one minute, with 97 percent accuracy.

Lmao

yes, doesnt count, but in a way it does... because if you are typing on a Steno, and you still have to make 4-10 strokes, that the same as typing on a keyboard for the most part...

i can only do about 70 i think.... im sure if i wanted to i could get over 100....
