“It was fine to run the bases. I thought it was going to be a problem in the outfield,” Carroll said after his postgame X-rays and visit to the training room at Rogers Centre. “We’ve got plenty of great outfielders and so, easy call to come out of this one.”

From the mound to behind the camera: Randy Johnson’s mindset remains unwavered
“In a lot of ways, the photography to me has parallels to baseball and what my mindset was every fifth day when I performed,” Johnson said. “There was a great deal of preparation and research physically and mentally going into the game, preparation leading up to gameday. It’s the same thing if I go on a trip somewhere, what camera equipment am I preparing to bring, what day or time of the year am I going. You know, being prepared so you’re not caught off guard. Being prepared for something that maybe you weren’t prepared for. And it’s the same way as having that [baseball] focus.”

This is located on the Potaro River in the center of Guyana’s rainforest. The average flow rate of the waterfall is 663 cubic meters per second.
A raisin dropped in fresh champagne will keep bouncing up and down from the bottom to the top of the glass.
When you add raisins to a glass of champagne, they’ll sink to the bottom at first. However, after some time, the raisins will move up and down in the glass dancing. This motion is due to dissolved carbon dioxide in the liquid. The CO2 bubbles cling to the surface of the raisins. Thus, the raisin method is used to “revive” flat champagne, as well.
