Get ahold of Rob Bonser through the Secrets board. 1. Pre-existing conditions not covered. 2. Cap on all new conditions which varies by how much you pay for insurance. 3. Must be insured before age 61. Talk to Rob. He is a BUPA (and other) agent in Pattaya. He is honest and a source of reliable information on all things expat medical. I would dig out his contact info and pm you but I'm in a bit of a move now and everything is packed away. The guys on the Secrets board can direct you.

As Mike Krukow puts it, a brain dead heaver. You are correct in that you need to learn how to pitch and not throw. There have been many guys with great fastballs who nobody even heard of - like Sidd What'shisface. hehe You are also reiterating what I have been saying. Thank you! The art of pitching is upsetting a batter's timing. I did not invent that. I must credit again Mr. Krukow who pitched for the Cubs, Phils and Giants. But others have said these things also. I also Like Joe Morgan's take on it in that if a guy can't get his off speed pitches over the plate, he is sitting Dea

The speed of the pitch is not what gets hitters out. It is movement on the pitch. There are even two types of fastballs (I am not including the split finger) 2-seam and 4-seam. Then you have sliders, curveballs and change ups. Knuckle balls, the slowest of the slow, can get a good hitter in a major funk. If a pitcher with a 105 mph fastball cannot upset the hitters timing with any of the other pitches in the strike zone, he will soon be suffering whiplash from cranking his head around to watch the ball sail over the fence. This is not my opinion. It is the opinion of major leag

I am a huge baseball fan but yawn. If all he's got consistently in the strike zone is that pitch, major league hitters will make him a has been in no time. Major league hitters are not impressed by speed alone. The art of pitching is upsetting a hitter's timing. A major league hitter can time a pitch over 100 mph. Movement of a pitch, differences in speeds, differences in changing a batter's line of sight, i.e. up and in, low and away, down and in, up and away, etc. with change of speed are what get major league hitters out. If a pitcher gets behind in the count, he gets predictab

At 59 I cannot sprint as fast as I could a few short years ago - so, I hope so because as I get older my odds of crossing Second Road in one piece will diminish!

I hate it when the airline loses my luggage in San Francisco! or No self respecting terrorist would get on the same plane with this guy. -
Pele was far more athletic and I imagine (though I can't prove it) faster. He was a better passer and better team player. Of the two, in this modern era, Pele would still be as successful. I think the faster players of today would better contain Best. It is hard (and probably not fair) to rate players out of their own eras though. Would Babe Ruth still hit 714 homeruns against modern pitching? My money is on Pele as far as this poll is concerned. And I once thought football was gay until I started watching the Premiership a few years ago to be involved with the fantasy leagues
