I need your help: Any one have ideas on how I can get a radar gun in Eugene, Or before 12 noon tmw

1) Does he have any specific baseball experience?

1a) If no, then no, he can't throw 100 mph.

2) Talk to someone at the UofO athletic department. I'll bet their baseball team has one or two.

3) If that fails, take your rental car out to I-5 and get it up to 120. When the fuzz pulls you over, ask if you can borrow his radar gun.

I would reach out to local baseball teams or coaches, either University of Oregon or local high schools, all would likely have a radar gun.

There is also minor league club in Eugene (Emeralds):

Had a friend who once attended some MLB scouts open tryout dates. One of the first things they had attendees do is begin by throwing with a radar gun. Anyone that could not throw 85 mph or higher were sent home. An 85 mph fastball looks very fast, but there are few people who can throw that hard (think Million Dollar Arm). It would be cool if your friend really did have a 100-mph fastball though. Good luck.

If someone came up to you looking and acting like rojo, (huge forehead - bad haircut - dressed like a UT frat boy hobo - speaking some incomprehensible language), would you give him your radar gun?

Local police will have them.

I was at the 1996 Olympics last day of track & field events.

During the javelin competition, some goon behind me was convinced a body builder like Arnold could win the javelin gold.

Yes, A radar gun is not a weapon. You are thinking of a laser gun or a sonic weapon.

0/10 rojo

I think Amazon makes a dash button for that

That's ignorant, Rojo. I'd bet my life savings against that.

I don't know about the radar gun, but if your friend's flight is delayed, causing an overnight stay at PDX, I posted instructions to find the sole all-night store there on a thread a few days ago.

It may not seem important now, but it will surely happen to some of you, especially if you're flying Delta. And you wouldn't even suspect the existence of an all-night store there if I hadn't told you. Then you will all be slightly grateful.

Tomorrow is the off day and I want to time a javelin thrower friend of mine as he throws a fastball. I have reason to believe he can throw it over 100 mph and want to film him throwing in front of a radar gun and then send the tape out to major league scouts.

The only problem is he flies out tomorrow night (From Portland) and I don't have a radar gun. If anyone know where I can buy one or borrow one that would be amazing.

Lots of guys can throw over 100 mph. Very, very few can throw over 85 mph with control.

Have him throw for distance. Find a marked field baseball or football. 300ft is equivalent to 90mph. Google for other equivalent distances.

Do you own a cellphone? Does it have Google Maps? You could have the answer in seconds. Or wait for some random post.

And Rojo owns his own successful business, lives/works as he wishes doing something he loves...how many here can say that?

I'm gonna take a not-so-wild stab here and say jokes on you.

can you update us on his throw speed?
