In a delicious twist of irony, Major League Baseball has announced a new "three strikes" rule as part of its tougher, more comprehensive drug testing policy.

Which led me to think: "three strikes" has been adopted in so many other situations, including repeat offenders of violent crimes. I wonder how many dangerous criminals we'd have walking our streets today if baseball had been invented with four strikes? Or how many lives would have been saved if it had only two?

I'm not sure quite why, but, this reminds me of the t-shirt The Onion used to sell that said, "I'm Like a Chocoholic, But With Booze!"
