Apparently its a very long history of throwing the ball of the opposing team.especially the Red Sox and Yankees.i seriously doubt he meant to hit him.

THE DIABOLICAL TRUTH ABOUT MASS-MARKET COCAINE
THE DIABOLICAL TRUTH ABOUT MASS-MARKET COCAINE
Apparently, it’s a cosmic law that whatever the government wages war against mysteriously becomes exponentially worse. Take drugs, for example. After decades of a brutal and destructive international war, drugs just keep on becoming more prevalent and more dangerous.
But the drug war is part of the zeitgeist, and so we have that strange and terrible dynamic where something that could be potentially be useful and beneficial is forced into the underground where manufacture and distribution are bastardized and taken over by criminals and murderers.
Cocaine is a popular drug with some 22+ million estimated global users, which amounts to almost the entire population of Australia. When produced properly, it’s apparently amazing enough that even Sigmund Freud was quite fond of it, noting:
“…exhilaration and lasting euphoria, which in no way differs from the normal euphoria of the healthy person…You perceive an increase of self-control and possess more vitality and capacity for work….In other words, you are simply normal, and it is soon hard to believe you are under the influence of any drug….Long intensive physical work is performed without any fatigue…This result is enjoyed without any of the unpleasant after-effects that follow exhilaration brought about by alcohol….Absolutely no craving for the further use of cocaine appears after the first, or even after repeated taking of the drug…” [Source]
The Rolling Stones, and many other amazing rock bands from the 60’s and 70’s, produced much of their greatest music under the influence of Merck pharmaceutical grade cocaine. Guitarist Keith Richards talks about this in his autobiography, Life, commenting on the incredible quality difference in pharmaceutical cocaine and street cocaine.
“Pharmaceutical cocaine cannot be compared in any way to cocaine produced in Central or South America. It is pure, does not bring on depression or lethargy. A totally different type of euphoria, one of creativity, exists immediately when it is absorbed by the central nervous system. There are absolutely no withdrawal symptoms.”
Cocaine, as it is today, has unleashed apocalyptic levels of depravity, corruption, and crime in the world. It seems to bring out the very worst in people, unleashing their most base-level, lower-consciousness selves, which is why it’s no surprise that cocaine is the drug that fuels Wall Street.
2017 was a record year for Colombian cocaine production, and because of the insane war on drugs, most of the world’s raw cocaine is produced in clandestine jungle laboratories where coca farmers turn leaves into raw cocaine paste using basic chemistry and commonly found noxious chemical ingredients.
Necessary in the production of jungle cocaine are the following ingredients, according to several documentary reports, two of which can be seen below.
Gasoline
Sulfuric Acid (Drain Cleaner)
Cement
Caustic Soda (Lye)
Potassium Salt
Liquid Fertilizer
Bleach
Ammonia
sodium permanganateOnce the paste is made, all these chemicals are dumped into rivers in the jungles in South America. Then, to turn the raw paste into the street product, dealers up and down the supply chain add their own fillers, so that by the time it reaches the consumers, it’s typically less than 20% actual cocaine. Filler ingredients vary widely, but here are many of the most common:
Parasite medications
Rat Poison
Strychnine
Fentanyl and other opioids
Baby laxatives
Creatine
Caffeine
Laundry detergent
Benzocaine
Boric acid
Levamisole
Lidocaine
Mannitol
Novocaine
Phenacetin
And more!
So, what could be a product that may have some positive uses for some people has now been turned into a black market crime against humanity. Modern cocaine can rot your skin, make your ears turn black and die, and your nose fall off. And the war over it is killing hundreds of thousands of people and corrupting countless others. All so people can snort a grab bag of nasty chemicals.
But wait, that’s not all!

While cocaine has a sort of glamorous image in the big city, it’s really one of the nastiest, toxic, and environmentally destructive agricultural products on earth. But it is an irreversible fact of human nature that we always have been and always will be drawn to altered states of consciousness. Which is why the war on drugs makes no sense.

The secret of Siberian huskies' piercing blue eyes:Researchers discover gene mutation
The secret of Siberian huskies' piercing blue eyes:Researchers discover gene mutation
Siberian huskies are among the most prized dogs in the world thanks to their piercing blue eyes.
And it is all down to a gene mutation that gives the iconic sled dog its famous hypnotising stare, according to new research.
It was identified after scientists compared the genomes of more than 6,000 dogs in the first study of its kind.
The much loved breed carries the variant in a section of DNA that carries genetic information known as 'canine' chromosome 18.
A duplication on canine chromosome 18 was 'strongly associated' with blue eyes in Siberian Huskies, said the US team.
The phenomenon is a major mechanism through which new genetic material is generated during molecular evolution.
Biological anthropologist Dr Aaron Sams, of Embark Veterinary, New York, said: 'The biggest surprise for me was this duplication, which primarily explains blue eyes in huskies, can also explain blue eyes in a subset of Australian shepherds that are tri-coloured (non-merle), which was until now unexplained.'
A genomic-wide association study is often used on humans to uncover DNA clues behind certain characteristics or diseases but has never been done on dogs before.
In such an approach, markers in the genomes of many subjects, in this case animals, are scanned to pinpoint the genetic variations of a trait or illness, such as blue eyes.
In recent years, personal DNA testing companies that promise to offer insight into our ancestry and health have exploded in popularity.
Two genetic factors that cause blue eyes in merle and piebald dogs have previously been revealed, which are due to mutations of a protein that can also produce a patchy fur coat.
But this isn't the case for huskies.
Dr Sams and colleagues at the University of Cornell's College of Veterinary Medicine, New York, analysed the DNA of 6,070 purebred and mixed-breed dogs to get to the bottom of the Siberian husky's crystal-like eyes.
Their owners also sent the researchers photos of the dogs and filled out web-based surveys on their pets. Of the total, 156 dogs had solid blue eyes or partially blue eyes.
By studying the canines, the researchers discovered what is known as a haplotype, or a set of genetic variants that are found on a chromosome.
The duplication of a variant of the homeobox gene, which plays a key role in how the eyes of mammals develop, appeared to be isolated to Siberian huskies and explained why their eyes were blue.
The duplication of the same gene might also explain why some Australian shepherd dogs have blue eyes.
The study, published in the journal PLOS Genetics, was funded by a dog DNA startup company called Embark.
Added Dr Sams: 'There is definitely more work to be done to fully understand eye colour in dogs.
'For example, while dogs that carry a single copy of this mutation typically have completely or partially blue eyes, in rare cases a dog will carry this mutation but not have blue eyes, which means that other genetic or environmental factors are affecting the expression of this trait.
'In the future, this could give dog breeders control over the eye colour of the litters they breed.'
The study, published in the journal PLOS Genetics, was funded by a US dog DNA startup company called Embark.
Future studies of the functional mechanism may lead to the discovery of a novel pathway by which blue eyes develop in mammals.
The study is the latest to provide insight on the inner workings of our four-legged friends.
Earlier this year, Italian researchers found dogs could understand human emotions based on facial expressions. If a dog detected a human is having a bad day, for example, its heart rate might rise, they said.
