Dear Barb,

We're thrilled to hear Joe did so well for the Atlantic League!
Please send him the congratulations of all the Cyclones fans out
there who loved seeing him play in Brooklyn's first two seasons!

What's next for Joe? I suppose he'll try to hook up with another
major league organization if possible. Wish him luck for us!

How did Ross Peeples do in the league???

Take care, and thanks for staying in touch!

Sammy Cyclones
