Is this guy really comparing a MLB player to a conductor? I mean, really?

Karajan conducted until his death, and he was north of 80, also....

someone should post a picture of Leopold.
His massive head is ...what can one say? Noteworthy? Freaky? Really cool? Not sure, but it is ...massive.

Yes. Why the astonishment? Do you think MLB plays have inordinately more skill?

Couldn't a person do both, and be a rock star, and a life saving surgeon? You know, like Buckaroo Banzai???

Most of the concerts and theater I’ve gone to in the last few years were at Colleges and Universities, so of course there are going to be tons of young people there. When I lived in Louisiana, the Conductor of the Baton Rouge Symphony was my neighbor, so I was pretty much at every performance. Now since I’ve moved to Indiana, I’m dating a Professor in the Theater Department at the local University, so I’m at every production and concert.

How many 80 year old guys do you see that still swing a bat and hit the ball? MLB player or not

Lenny was good! Also liked his televised young people’s concerts with expositions on the music and the composers. But a Leftist wacko I have to agree.

You can’t compare the two professions. Simple as that. Its like they just picked them out of thin air.
