:

America's Email-BATTER UP....A LOVING HEART CARRIES WITH IT, UNDER EVERY
PARALLEL OF LATITUDE, THE WARMTH AND LIGHT OF THE TROPICS...IT PLANTS
ITS EDEN IN THE WILDERNESS AND SOLITARY PLACE...AND SOWS WITH FLOWERS
THE GRAY DESOLLATION OF ROCK AND MOSSES....***THIS YEAR IN 1948
The Soviet Union begins the Berlin Blockade..At that time few would
have believed that THE COLD WAR would end with not a single shot
fired and the EVIL EMPIRE folding on it's own-Because of American
resolve..GOOD DOES WIN OVER EVIL...****1991 Auburn Astros-New York
Penn League...We were heading for the all-time Auburn attendance
record...We had keychanins printed that said "I WAS PART OF THE
ALLTIME ATTENDANCE RECORD"...We had plenty of games left...AND than
it started to rain...We lost 4 home games to rain...NO problem our
final game always drew 2,000 people...But the rain gods opened up the
night before and the tarps were not on the field-THAT'S ANOTHER
STORY-Anyway there we were, final game of the season..Sunny skys-Wet
field..The umpires called Marc Techman and me out to the pitchers
mound...Not only Marc and me but our entire staff were in white
tuxedos..UMPIRES to Auburn staff..NO GAME..YIKES ..No game...No
record....Well maybe not...Let's talk to NY PENN LEAGUE PRESIDENT -OUR LATE
FRIEND - Leo
Pinckney....Leo can we have a special exemption to count this
crowd...Of course....So the key chains went out...The record was
broken...and a ONE TIME ONLY league policy was changed....Thanks
Leo....FROM "BIG LEAGUE DREAMS"...(BY the way...Leo was a former
Auburn President...Lifelong Auburn resident..The league office was in
Auburn...And he was a good friend to the Auburn team...We may have
used those factors to our advantage..But Leo was a very good and kind
man..and we will never forget him for letting us slide
PULL THE TARPS......Sometimes Even a fool makes a good suggestion...*****YOU CAN
PUT it in the books...That'ts My Field of Dreams..As we Paint thye
Internet..Red,,,White and Blue..."Sic Semper Tyrannis"..Make it a good
day...Let's Roll!!

=====NE OUBLIE"
