Welcome to Wades and barrels.

It is Monday.

May 19th, Derek Van Riper.

Is that Enoceros holding a baseball bat or a long sandwich?

Like, what did we got there? That's a great looking picture.

Yeah, that was a shout out to teacher Mark and the third grade class at Excelsior.

That was a good time.

Went in and did like a Q&A.

We talked a little bit about baseball and the rules and the geometry of it and some of the math of it.

And gave them all packs.

And we did a real simple game that you can play with cards.

You know, I grew up in Germany.

We had these cards that we had the, like, trucks on them.

And it would say, like, they're horsepower and stuff So you'd just say, like, horsepower, and whoever had the highest horsepower won, the two cards, you know, it's almost like a game of war, but it's, like, has to do with, you know, the stats on the card. So we played a version of that where it was like, who has the most home runs on their card?

So they all had to like look for home runs. And there was one kid

who had a

Stan Musil card

and a Clayton Kershaw card

and a Hank Aaron card.

That'll win a lot.

So anytime I said something, he was like,

uh, is 2,930 strikeouts a lot?
