Its one of those discussions people have when it’s raining outside, or when TBS, TNT or any number of stations puts on one of those standby pastime flicks. It’s a time-killer debate that has originated its own area of genre…the baseball movie. Going back nearly a century, baseball has been a prominent fixture in movies, with any number of them being released in a decade especially in the 1980s and 1990s. While the recent collection of flicks have failed to even touch the crest of “immortality” and have been quick to enter the $5 bin at Wal-Mart, there are still dozens of excellent.

So many good choices…so few bad ones that even debating the “best” is a topic one can’t even decide upon themselves let alone with others. Hence, I want to go backwards with this and instead debate the worst baseball movies of the last twenty-five years. I use twenty-five, since I am 26 and it’s a more even number and since I’m more familiar with these. Now at the on-set, I should day that I’m still a fan of most of these as a bad baseball movie it’s like a bad piece of pizza. It’s still comforting and some good can still be squeezed out.

Since I have been back in America, I have eaten at Pad Thai Restaurant 3 times. Pad Thai is located at 203 North Barstow Street in downtown Eau Claire--across from Phoenix Park. I have also been sampling a variety of other Asian food places since I have been back. However, I can say--without any doubts-- that Pad Thai has the best and most authentic Thai food in the area. Dishes are very reasonably priced and the portions are hearty. If you are ever in downtown Eau Claire and have a hankering for some Asian food, be sure to check out Pad Thai--you might run into me. :P
