Blow and the MLB

I watch or listen to most Met games. I bet I heard the announcers say 8-10 times this year that the team got into So and So city at 4am---5am. I'm just using the Mets as an example.

IDK, All sports are hard, but hitting a 95mph fastball on 3 hours sleep has got to be ridiculous.

Maybe I'm making too much of this, but if the ban on Uppers is causing players to turn to harder drugs, then I would hope the MLB will relax some of their bans.

Amphetamines aren't exactly harmless. In fact, they can be worse than coke because they can cause psychosis.

I know they are not 'harmless'. I'm just saying for decades Uppers were the norm and there didn't seem to be as big as a Coke problem as they do now.

Yea, I know that there are only two American continents.

Didn't you also know that Mexico has not moved since the 70's and that the entire region of Central America is on the North American continent?

It's still in "Central America". Right?

I read somewhere once that coke is actually less harmful, physically, than amphetamine. That was my point.

Nope, and neither is Texas, parts of which are south of parts of Mexico. It is interesting how Belize is considered to be in Central America even while parts of Mexico are south of Belize. I even gave you a map to look at. The Central American region consists of the nations completely south of any portion of Mexico that reside on the North American continent.

Nope. Anything on the isthmus is part of the Central America Region. Texas does not lie anywhere near the isthmus. About half of Mexico does.

Hockey in the 80s was rife with it or at least the Oiler's were. I expect that it is as common as it was before with just more awareness.

Young men with money doing alot of travelling away from home. Hookers and blow (or at least puck bunnies and blow)

true enough. a bunch of my colleagues who ended up at big bucks, high pressure, wall street law firms in the 80s claimed the same thing. 26-30 year olds with lots of pressure and lots of money=cocaine

Last I looked, Mexico was still in Central America. Did it move since the 70's and 80's?

Google North America. Then look at the images. It's part of the NA continent.

Central America is part of NA. So? Mexico is still in Central America.

That wasn't my point. I was just pointing out an obvious correlation.

Central America, a part of North America, is a tropical isthmus that connects North America to South America. It includes (7) countries and many small offshore islands.
Overall, the land is fertile and rugged, and dominated through its heart by a string of volcanic mountain ranges that are punctuated by a few active and dangerous volcanos.
Positioned in the planet's northern and western hemispheres the Central America isthmus is bordered in the northwest by the country of Mexico, and in the southeast by the country of Colombia. In addition, it's bordered by the Caribbean Sea, Pacific Ocean, and numerous bays, gulfs and inlets.

"Central America" may mean different things to various people, based upon different contexts:

The United Nations geoscheme for the Americas defines the region as all states of mainland North America south of the United States and specifically includes all of Mexico. https://unstats.un.org/unsd/methodology/m49/
