El Bario, Bronx – What a day to be called in to pitch hit, on a Sunday morning that happens to also coincide with the Dominican Day Parade. Most days I have no problem living in the Bronx or on the Concourse but on this day when I can’t even hear myself think because of the high decibels of Meringue being played outside my window, life in the suburbs or even Angry Ward‘s neighborhood seems like a better idea.
Anyway with not much else going on sports wise and running around for a topic, I found myself an old debate that I had a while back with a bunch of other geeks. With the Star Wars characters that we know of, make up a baseball line-up. Of course, this nerd debate was then anted by those that claim the Lord of the Rings was a greater movie. As such a baseball team for them would also need to be created. So after going back and forth line-ups were created and we now leave it to you MTM faithful to debate who would win this match-up.
Here are your line-ups:
Lord Of The Rings:
CF Legolas
3B Gimli
RF Aragorn
1B Theoden
