> a remembrance of lost Americans
> maybe a denouncement of the evildoers
> or even to offer a small prayer.

> Bin Laden could never have played baseball, and i surely would like to use his head instead of our softball for this weekend's game.

> i think i will be taking a hiatus from this board, so i wish you all well and remember...
> fly your flag tomorrow.

> united we stand,
> yours in baseball,
