1 Denver is both high and arid, although it does get plenty of snow. Marijuana is legal there, too; each adult can have up to one ounce on them when out and about. That’s almost a day’s worth.

2 No one really knows for sure what great hero discovered spitting on the ball helped your pitching.

3 Eventually spitball pitchers or ‘the spitter’ became a term for any pitcher that loaded up a ball with a foreign substance, not just spit.

4 You’d think another move would be to introduce helmets, but this didn’t happen for another twenty-one seasons.

5 A strange little exemption. It was like allowing people to keep drink driving after it was made illegal so long as they’d been caught doing it in the past.

6 You shine one side and let the other side get rough as play goes on. The rougher side drags in the air and the shiny side doesn’t, making the ball ‘swing’ left or right through the air if the bowler uses the right grip.

7 About five and a half hours, depending on how much stuffing around is going on.

8 All sorts of Australian athletes have cheated, of course, but this is conveniently forgotten not long after it happens.

9 This statement is factually incorrect, but Turnbull was right in the sense that it’s how cricket is perceived. Like all great nation-building cultural myths, it’s more something to strive for than something that actually happens.
