thirty-nine theses (11-15)

A few more strong opinions:

11. The designated hitter rule allows for a few good beer league softball hitters to have a lucrative career in the American League. But the rule is not good for baseball.

12. Anyone considering a college major in education should give serious consideration to the "Transition to Teaching" option as an alternative means to licensure.

13. A grade for a course is little more than a letter on a piece of paper (or in a computer file somewhere) that no one will ever pay much attention to.

14. Wearing warm socks and comfortable shoes during our Northern Indiana winters is an important spiritual discipline.

15. The wiffleball bat and ball, dollar for dollar, is the greatest toy ever invented.

11. Carlos Zambrano is an overweight pitcher and he can still hit a home run from both sides in the number 9 slot. Bag the DG
13. There is certainly more to college than grades.
14. It is for this reason that, unbeknown to most ungrateful children, wool socks are one of the greatest Christmas gifts you could ever receive.
15. Amen.
