The majority of those just came off the top of my head. BTW, less than a month away before pitchers & catchers report. Part of how I won over my wife was I was able to get her to love baseball as much as I do by showing her the romantic side of the game. A couple of David Halberstam books later, we went & saw the minor league team in town (Boise Hawks). I knew she was hooked when she said "You know, now I know what you mean when you say that's the most beautiful shade of green I've ever seen a field of grass".

There was one thing I caught with your note, Rich. You said take caree friend. I'm guessing it's just a spelling error, but it led me to a phrase I like for people I primarily know through Facebook & The Chip Board: E-Friend. Feel free to steal it; it's how I come up with most of my stuff!!!
