"It has been so long since we've had pi... either flavor!" Thank you!  You know, I might actually enjoy being at a baseball game, if I were with you. 'Specially if they have the right kind of candy.

This I didn't know. I had thought that legends records were allowed to stand forever!
I just read in today's NY Times on-line that yesterday he (Ripken) became the oldest All-Star player to hit a home run and has just been voted MVP for the All-Stars. Not bad for an Orioles man! (Currently 4th in AL East).

Seems that, since I last posted to this list, there are still quite a few old names (with different titles) even more new names (with far more advanced titles than I have), and on-line infatuation (if not romance) and the same old ball-bashing of that greatest of great games - CRICKET! There, I've said it.
