(Boy, those Yankee fans sure know how to have a good time! It still kind of irks me that those bozos knocked down a perfectly good stadium – one with so much history and character – to build one with more luxury boxes, for the corporate fat cats.

Pitchers and catchers are starting to report! Football is pretty much history, until the Draft Day hoopla begins, so it’s time to start thinking about America’s – older – Pastime. Basketball and hockey are just pleasurable distractions in comparison. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
