>...requires only the presence of mind to exploit a freakishly rare set of circumstances.
sounds more and more like a triple play.

Good puns can and do come back to haunt one!

and not just any sports thread, TEd, a sports thread that is about both cricket and baseball.. a lethal combiniation.. there is only one cure..
FOOD FIGHT
we will just interlace a food reference for every sports one..
In last season "Reality Show" Fear Factor, the contestants had to eat crickets.. 2 or 3 or some such number.. and they were warned, not to try to swallow them whole, since the crickets would crawl back up their throats.. any once else have experience eating crickets? Is this true? personally, i don't mind raw foods, but very few live ones.. and insects most definately need to be cooked before eating..

Pssshhhh, those Fear Factor and Survivor contestants are weenies. There, I've said it. It's out in the open.
Seriously, I was in the air cadets and we ate worse things during survival camp. If someone is starving you'd think he'd get over his qualms and just eat the darn rat or worm. Protein, protein, protein.
And they are always in these hot places. Just let them be plopped down in the middle of a forest in the middle of a Canadian winter and see how many are left after the what, eight weeks.
I have trouble watching those shows because they frustrate me. I didn't watch more than one show of the first two and the first episode of this current one. In this first episode a group was trying to carry mounds of stuff on a stretcher and had to stop every 50 feet or so to pick up something that fell off. Well, how can you not think they are dingbats when they have a rope hanging from the side of the stretcher and a net in their packs. Um, tie up your load folks.
As to the crickets crawling back up your throat: the acid in your stomach can dissolve metal. I would think it would make short order of a cricket. I think they were just trying to make it look more disgusting.

I would think that if you had some particularly spry crickets in your throat, they might at least try climbing back out. One word. WINE. If you get them woozy, they would just slide down, wouldn't they?  Enigma suggests Worcester instead of woozy. And why not.

I'd let it slide, tsuwm.
And *I was the one who introduced the subtle reference to Pogo and what did it get *me?

Good puns, like crickets, can unexpectedly return in surprising and undesirable ways.
