Triple Threat - A man of many talents.

Initially he refused to do an interview at the Zephyr's game, but here after making a birdie he was in a better mood and agreed to do an impersonation of the baseball coach at our old high school. Nice job Riceman! Take it from me, it's spot on.

The Mysterious Mr. Who

I give the Who grief about our days on the basketball court, but truth be told our battles probably wound up 50/50. Okay 51% me, 49% him.....I like that better.

Click on title above.  Good website to check out.  Especially love the graphic this link connects to.  Many good, interesting graphics on the site.  The travels graphics are awesome!  I can't imagine traveling that far back in the 1800's and still playing ball.  No internet, no creature comforts.  I am too spoiled.

The United Countries of Baseball

Where does your allegiance lie? I was Braves fan growing up and became a Red Sox fan when they lost to the Mets in the World Series. I guess I felt bad for Billy Buckner, I don't know.
