Open Question: sharp headache during exercise?

I was using a jump rope. A blunt pain somewhere in the top-middle-left of my cortex (Im guessing). It seemed to not be in my eye. It felt almost like a baseball bat hit my head. I fell over while my legs kept me standing. 5 hours previous to it I drank about 2 more cups of coffee than usual. I also had this happen 2 or 3 times while running about a year ago. Could it be the caffeine?

Open Question: Will it ever stop hurting when I use my weighted hula hoop?

I have had a 3 lb weighted hula hoop for a few days now, and it kills when i use it. After the first day, it felt like someone took a baseball bat to my side. It's not exactly my muscles that are hurting either, more like my skin and every of the tissue beneath it! If anyone uses a hula hoop for fitness, please let me know if this happened to you...and if it will go away. thanks!

Open Question: What if the Yankees abolished their traditional no-facial hair policy?

Wouldn't it just makes things fair to the game of baseball. I understand the Yankees well. They are by far the most popular franchise in every of baseball and they like being distinct from your typical baseball team but does the organization really have to hold an unnecessarily strict policy like that. Does it matter how a player looks out on the field? Did it matter to people what Damon looked with the caveman beard prior to playing with them for four seasons? Did it matter what Gaudin's trademark goatee looked like? Did people make a big deal out of Fasano's fu manchu? What I'm saying is a player's appearance doesn't matter, except heavy weight, but really, it shouldn't effect the way you hit a ball or toss on the mound. I think players can grow their hair and goatees the way they want to. By the way, I'm still not ruling out leaving this place, I just had the itch to ask and answer baseball questions once again. Woah calm down cali. I would take a break but my mind was simply on baseball which is why I had to post a question. But as I said I'll decide later this week. cali, I am aware that the Marlins had a no-beard policy before but that was at the time Girardi was at the helm. Freddi Gonzalez didn't do that.
