Wow! I didn't realize I'd been communicating online for almost two years with such a distinguished group of old b@stards!

Joey from the TV show 'Friends' thought it was a "MOO (not moot) POINT" because "...no one cares what a cow thinks..."

Unlike you guys, my parents taught me to respect my elders!

Michael,

There are only 10 kinds of people: those that understand binary, & those that don't.

Yeah, this here XP with the dual Intel Processor is a far cry from that old 8088 with the 4 disk drives, the screaming 256kb of RAM and the green phosphorous tube display! Back then, the new kid on the block was the Disk Operating System -- can you say DOS 1.0?

Why do I feel like I'm at an AARP convention?

You're all youngsters. I turned 75 in April. I saw my first game at Wrigley Field (Chicago) the year BEFORE there were bleachers or ivy on the outfield wall.

75???? I worked with a partner a few years ago who was 85.

Anyone remember the Timex-Sinclar "Computer"? Plugged into your TV and you used a cassette recorder to save your data. Programmed in BASIC. And yes, I know what DOS is....uno, DOS, tres....

Did the 85 year old partner set up his lawn chair behind the pitcher or was it permanantly located in 'A'??

I worked with an 82 year old gent this season in a varsity game. Had to stop the game on several occasions after he was hit with errant pitches and foul balls in the upper torso (his CP looked older than me - DOB 1961).

Was also run over twice on plays at the plate and was hit with two balls thrown to the plate because he decided to take the calls in fair territory.

Also, there was that new mechanic he employed of a non-verbal, emphatic point foul call and his verbal fair call.

A few years ago I worked with a very senior association member who, in the past had been a Pac10 crew chief and who had worked, years ago, with Jocko Conlan.

He wore a raft behind the plate, missed maybe two pitches, trailed the B/R to first, made all rotations and still had text book mechanics.

Age is not the defining issue. Performance is.
