From the very start, Bunt: "Accept if foul on the third strike"

Don't they mean "except?"

There are a lot of spelling mistakes in this document. I've spotted 3 already, and I'm only in the first few pages.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

I know, I'm just picking nits.

My mother was a schoolteacher at a private elementary school, and she was VERY picky about grammar, spelling and punctuation. Mistakes like that on a publication are like nails on a chalkboard to me.

For a while, ASA had a statement at the bottom of various sections of their website that said they "insure fair play." I said, "I thought that was Bollinger's job."
