It says "Not only did James Naismith invent basketball in 1891 but he inadvertently aided in the invention of netball... In 1895 Naismith sent a copy of his basketball rules to a sports teacher in New Orlean...
...Netball was first played in England in 1895"

Better yet, shorten the basball game. 9 innings is ridiculously long. 5 is more than enough.

1. No holding penalties. Do whatever it takes to play the damn game. I’d say 90% of the most dramatic punt returns in football are “brought back” because somebody grabbed another guy's jersey.

2. Bring back the “incidental” facemask rule. Just because your hand brushes a guy’s helmet is no reason to give the other team 15 yards AND a first down.

3. No “horse-collar” penalties. What is this — flag football?

4. None of these bullshit penalties like “illegal formation” or “ineligible receiver downfield.” LSU recently lost a game-winning touchdown because a guard somehow crossed the line of scrimmage without saying “Mother May I?” or something ridiculous during a spectacular 150-yard pass play. Okay, maybe it wasn't quite that long.

5. Introduce the LASSO to haul down receivers who’ve run past you. NOW we’re talking excitement!

Yet, to a man, the ESPN Baseball Tonight crew, all 6 of them, unanimously picked St. Louis to beat LA in the first round. I don't see it.

Oh, and despite Albert not homering in his last 21 games, he held on to with the NL homer title with 47, and led the NL in runs scored.
