Which brings up an interesting point that all US sports claim to be World Champs when they win the big one in their sport. Yet they only play other US teams or maybe Canadian teams. I'm thinking soccer probably can only crown a World Champion.

I remember when I read a lot of his books in the 90's early 2000's he was always listed as Dean R Koontz, now it seems he is just Dean Koontz. Why did he used to use his middle initial? And why did he stop? 05-15-2018 01:02 PMRandall Flagg"R' was copyrighted and he got sued. 05-15-2018 01:36 PMBr!an 05-15-2018 01:36 PMBr!an 05-15-2018 02:54 PMladysaiWhy is it that each time I've completely gotten the knack of one facet of technology, an update is made which leaves me compltetly at loss? 05-15-2018 03:19 PMMerlin1958 05-15-2018 03:53 PMladysaiRight?

It can be frustrating but also incredibly exciting! When I first worked in ADP (later IT) the hard drives on our new systems were 32 bit 128MB drives that it took two people to carry. Now You can fit 4-terabyte drives in your pocket. I'm one of those rare old people who love change! 05-15-2018 09:38 PMLurker 05-16-2018 03:26 AMstroppygoblin 05-16-2018 04:49 AMRandall Flagg 05-16-2018 05:15 AMIwritecode 05-16-2018 05:20 AMIwritecodeIt means that MLB has the best players from around the world.
I would bet that if you took a team of the best MLB players and put them up against the best players you could find that don't play in the MLB, the MLB players would win a 7 games series more often than not. 05-16-2018 05:25 AMSt. TroyThe "world champion" thing is like calling American football (NFL) "football" - it makes no sense, but we're used to it. I like the sound of "super bowl champion," "NBA champion," "Stanley cup champion" better. 05-16-2018 05:33 AMRandall Flagg
