Oh, and the Braves won their first Spring Training game yesterday against the Mets.
I think it was a final score of 6-4.
Best,

PS.
Yeah, I like baseball.
I was a pitcher on a team Sponsored by a local donut shop when I was pretty young...
Say? 12-14?
NO ONE EVER hit a home run off me.
I had a screwy "left-handed" pitch that even I probably couldn't hit...
It was DCABA League.

Then, when I first went to college, in my mid-late 20's,
Some 30 years ago,
I tried out as a "walk on" for Kansas University Baseball.
Coach Bingham.....
I'm pretty sure that I've told that story once or twice before here somewhere....
I STILL have the glove that I shoveled snow all winter in the neighborhood,
to save up for an, "AUTOGRAPHED" Stan Musial LEFT-HANDED Glove!
Purchased, with hard earned cash, from my local "Montgomery Wards."
("Monkey Wards")
$12.95 plus 3% tax.
Late 60's or Early 70's
Prior to that, my uncle had given me a right-handed glove.
That meant that I had to catch with my left hand, quickly remove the glove and then throw with my left hand.
I learned quickly.
How to be quick....
