Yeah I'm the same, the old man went bald about my age.

So far so good but I don't have high hopes for me.

Pretty sure it depends on your mother's father, but I'm not sure.

Had heard that. He had a full head of hair when he passed away at 63. Hoping I get those genes. But then he died of prostate cancer which means I'm more likely to get it as well apparently. I've actually known a few men that have had prostate cancer - I volunteer at various events throughout the year because of it. Horrible disease.

If that were true I’d have had grey hair by my early 20’s.

 

[Loonerty]

I'm starting to go bald right in the centre of my scalp.

I'm only 25, this is bullshit.

That's unlucky, man. 25 is far too young for that shit.

Finasteride stops balding.

Oh yeah, I've heard of that - Joel Selwood takes it iirc.

 

[Cruyff14]

I have quite a few grey's on the top of my head.

A lot of men do. It’s what Ashley & Martin give you except people don’t realise a doctor can prescribe it to you for a shit load cheaper.

This game. This series.

I hope every World Series can be like the Dodgers/Astros for pure excitement.

 

[moomba]

I'm loving it/hating it.

Much prefer low scoring games than slugfests, but it's the way the sport has gone I guess. Just can't pick a winner tonight or in the series, momentum (and my confidence level) swings inning by inning.

Baseball and excitement. There are two words I never thought I'd see in the same sentence.

 

[moomba]

Miller has had an awful game behind the plate. Hitters need to swing at anything cause you just can't be confident he won't call a strike.

Cody Bellinger, absolutely unbelievable. Looking good for a game 7 at this rate!

Thanks for letting me know! I'll probably need to get on something like that within the next decade. Given the history of MPB in my family, my thick blonde locks probably won't stand the test of time.

You watch gridiron, pipe the **** down.

 

[Quivorir]

I've probably seen less than 10 games in my life. I "support" a team and keep an eye on placings and shit but hardly watch it.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Yep. Boring.
One sport I’ll never understand the appeal.

 

[RPCB]

My god,11-8.

Except for basketball, almost all American sports are boring as **** and filled with ads ads ads ads and timeouts timeouts timeouts

Urrrggghhh

Ratings, Brother!

I read somewhere the between innings changeover in Baseball is something like 40 seconds longer in the postseason (playoffs) compared to the regular season. That makes up more commercial breaks.

I enjoy Baseball and Basketball about as much as Australian Rules and Cricket.

Golf, Football and Surfing are above those - obsessed with all three, couldn't live without etc.

Is that to watch or to play?

Golf is a very interesting one. You either love it or you hate it.

I know I used to enjoy a lazy Sunday of golf action when there wasn't any motorsport on (I miss the Channel 10 glory Sundays), before I got busy.

More-so watching (surfing aside)! I don't play golf as much as I did in my teens, but I get to the driving range whenever I can. With watching, the European and USPGA tours get a heap of viewing. As brilliant as Golf is, it's a luxury which is difficult to afford both time and money wise... And to maintain a decent handicap 10>, you need to hit balls more than once a week.

Surf every day that I can at dawn - depending on the winds/swell of course. Don't watch a whole lot of WSL but whenever Julian Wilson (who grew up 20 minutes from my parents' house) is on I stop what I'm doing and watch intently.

As for Football, I played it throughout my schooling years (5-18) and repped the region. Stopped though to focus on cricket, which is my strongest sport (even though I hate playing it). If only I had my time again! Obviously I watch waaaay too much Football - need to start cutting down the hours spent following the European leagues and replace them with study/sleep.

Have you watched basketball lately?

You're doing alright for a 60 year old

Wow.
