For those of you who may not know: the Slugger from Smithfield is the best power hitter in the Ocean State. He’s hit fastballs, curveballs, knuckleballs, and sliders out of more parks than I can count, and people expect me to believe that he couldn’t hit one out of the atmosphere of a “round earth” and into orbit? No way.

As for the so-called “satellites” “circling” earth: If they were up there, Manny would’ve knocked at least one of them down. That man has a swing more powerful than any theory of gravity can account for. Boy, he makes Smithfield proud.

Present every theory and model of a circular earth you want. Until one can explain why at least a few of the Slugger’s balls aren’t orbiting us daily, I won’t believe it.
