The tools of ignorance

One of our baseball team's catchers - who knows all about the hardships of squatting behind the plate - pointed me in the direction of this FOXSports piece on just how tough a job it is. Ouch - my knees hurt just thinking about it.

Update:
Whilst searching for the origins of the phrase "the tools of ignorance" (it's generally attributed to Yankees catcher Bill Dickey) I also came across a related article from last year on the Seattle PI website. (Apologies to Paul and other Mariner fans out there for the reminder - at the end of the article - that there was a time not so long ago that the M's were in first place, four games ahead of Oakland).
