BTW, I'm studiously ignoring all the goings-on in New York while I concentrate on my daughter's 5th/6th grade softball team; which is currently in the middle of a 5-game winning streak. How I got roped into coaching first base, I'll never know. . .
I had not heard about Griffey's accomplishment. I'm sure another factor is being traded in between leagues as well. But it still amazes me that someone, somewhere, is keeping track of stuff like that. I know computers help, but that means someone's inputing the info...

Ok, there are a few questions I have to ask about your daughter's softball games:

First, are you one those 5th and 6th grade parents that feel this is a life-or-death situation?

And second, do the players see your signals, or do you need to stand on a stool?

JR made me do it. It's true...it's true...
