I Thought I Was the Only One Who Did That

In conjunction with my recent Facebook status ("Amy wants to wear her MILWAUKEE INDIANS t-shirt to the Indians-Brewers game on 6/15: Rick Vaughn bobblehead night!"), I give you this letter from the most recent CastroTurf* mailbag . . .

I wanted to let you know about a Spring Training/Major League party that is going to take place at Stampers Bar and Grille in Fairview Park on Thursday, February 12, starting at 4 p.m. This party was started years ago at a place called Jerry's, where they gathered at the start of Spring Training as they watched Major League and hoped that this was our year. I am trying to get the word out, so if we could get your help it would be greatly appreciated.

Nice to see that I'm not the only one who likes to kick off the season that way. I usually watch it at home, but I may have to attend this year's public screening.

In other news . . .

I joined forces with the Leper Colony last night, only to drag them down to my usual fifth-place finish. Stay tuned for the full recap.
