It’s clear to everyone that you are an asshole and I don’t deal with assholes on a computer Bill Fasleasy. Are you still selling t-shirts and wearing your old Marlin jersey. If you have some spare time perhaps you can earn some extra money washing and waxing my new BMW-5 series for a few extra bucks, you can use it toward your monthly rent. I’m leaving the throne to batspeed .com to you since you need so much attention. "

I've read many hitting books over the years, but the language he used really clicked for me. There is no question his dad revolutionized hitting, and Lau Jr. has enhanced the family recipe.
