Uncle Sam and Northfield's veteransJuly 04,2014
Countless families in the States probably have or had an Uncle Sam. But how, when and why Uncle Sam became the personified caricature of the United States of America may be unknown to many readers.
After the fact, the 87th U.S. Congress passed a resolution Sept. 15, 1961: Resolved by the Senate and the House of Representatives that the Congress salutes Uncle Sam Wilson of Troy, New York, as the progenitor of Americas National Symbol of Uncle Sam.
Born Sept. 13, 1766, of Scottish-American parents in West Cambridge, Massachusetts, Sam and his brother Ebenezer, both in their early 20s, walked to Troy, New York, seeking their fortune. It has been said Samuel was especially affable and was soon called Uncle Sam by many. Samuel and Ebenezer built a lucrative meatpacking business, and with the Hudson River running past their front door, they soon built a dock. That was good Yankee forethought since the War of 1812 was on the horizon.
It was during this war that the origins of Uncle Sam took root. E&S Wilson obtained a contract from the U.S. Army to supply meats for the American military. Samuel Wilson was appointed meat inspector for the Northern Army.
E&S Wilsons employees soon swelled to 200. Barrels of their meat were embossed with E.A.-U.S. Sam and Ebenezer had obtained this contract through a middle man, Elbert Anderson Jr., of New York City, from Secretary of War William Eustris. Eustris was himself an Army surgeon during the Revolutionary War, notably at Bunker Hill under George Washington.
Much of Uncle Sams meat was sent to nearby Greenbush, New York, where a camp of 6,000 soldiers was located. A good number of the men and women stationed at Greenbush knew or were acquainted with the outgoing Sam Wilson. They never doubted Uncle Sam and Eb would send them only the best quality meats. It is here we segue to the Fourth of July.
The most popular Uncle Sam caricatures were utilized for recruitment advertisements during world wars I and II.
There were literally hundreds of patriots including men and women from Northfield who served for Uncle Sam during World War II. However, their canned meat rations may never have passed Uncle Sam Wilsons inspections.
Northfield has much to be proud of this Fourth and every Independence Day.
Harold Wright, a Northfield native, who died two years ago, was wounded in combat during the historic Battle of Pork Chop Hill during the Korean War. He was awarded the Purple Heart.
Michael Popowski, also a Norwich graduate, class of 1934, was a captain with the 1st Armored Division. The Norwich University Record received a letter from his commander in August 1944. When the going was toughest, especially during the dark days at Kasserine in February of 1943, Pop loved to fight, and that cant be said about many. He has been in combat since January 1943. Kasserine, Maknassy, El Guettar, Mateur and Salerno. Now he can add, Cassino, Anzio and Rome.
Popowski, who later became commandant of Norwich from 1958-62, was awarded the Silver Star and the Purple Heart, after he was wounded by shrapnel to the jaw. He became a full colonel and also fought in the Korean War.
Three brothers from Northfield, George, Ira and Jerome Bill Hatch, all served in harms way during World War II. Ira was stationed in Panama for 39 months teaching recruits jungle combat and survival skills. He was then sent to France with the 70th Infantry Division. After surviving the war, he also took part in the Korean War with the Vermont 43rd Division. He enlisted in the Army in 1942 and after training found himself aboard a ship bound for the South Pacific. It was sunk and the men had to wade ashore. He was an Army communication specialist and fought at Guadalcanal.
Bill Hatch, a lieutenant, was a member of the 168th Infantry. He was first assigned to North Africa and ordered to hold the Faid Pass, bordering the Kasserine Pass, during that historically brutal battle. His group was ordered to stay put, through the fighting, a rear defense as the remainder of the regiment fell back. They found themselves behind German lines as the Nazis advanced. Half of the GIs were killed and the rest taken prisoner after a lengthy firefight.
Hatch was taken prisoner. His efforts to escape were epic and heroic. He and his buddies were flown from Tunis to Sicily, made to march long distances inside Mussolinis Italy. The Germans then moved the Americans from Capua to Germany, then finally to Poland.
The Nazis kept the Americans at POW Camp Oflag 64 near Warsaw, Poland. Hatch had dug many miles, it seems like, of tunnels. The Russians overran Warsaw, as well as the German prison camp, but they were not released by our allies in May 1945. They were taken to a new Russian makeshift POW camp.
Hatch forged a German pass. It worked, but just barely. He and his buddies escaped Russian machine gun fire to make it back to American lines. Hatch kept a record of war criminals, German guards, which he later gave to Allied debriefers.
Arsenio Fernandez, Uncle Sam to his many nieces and nephews, was a three-sport letterman at Norwich University, where he graduated in 1937. A special to the Norwich Record newspaper arrived in fall 1944. Captain Arsenio R. Fernandez has been promoted to the rank of major. He is a member of the Fifth Air Forces famous P-38 Lightning Group, Satans Angels, actively engaged in combat in the Southwest Pacific arena.
His brother, Julio, was a sergeant in the Philippines.
According to a Northfield News article, circa February 1943, Lt. Tom Mayo, an Army Air Corps pilot and Norwich graduate, was reported to be missing in action. Later, his mother, Prudence S. Mayo, received official word that her son was killed in action in an air raid over Germany. It was later learned that Lt. Mayo was downed over occupied France. A memorial service was held at the Northfield United Church. According to the Northfield News, It was well attended. The service mothers and the senior class of Norwich University, of which Lieut. Mayo was a member, attended in a body.
But Lt. Mayo was not dead. He was the co-pilot of a bomber when an engine lost power and the entire crew had to parachute over occupied France. Some of the crew survived. He was aided by French patriots, who helped him make his blood-curdling way past Gestapo and Vichy police into neutral Spain, only to be jailed by the Spaniards. U.S. diplomats were positioned on the Iberian Peninsula for just such possibilities, and he was eventually freed, probably with cash. Mayo was ferried to England, where he telephoned his mother months after his funeral and told her he was alive.
There were hundreds of men and women from Northfield who served Uncle Sam during World War II. All should have had their story told. This article could focus on only a few. Uncle Sam Wilson would be amazed that he somehow became the personification of this nation.

Hi Stephanie, i was just wondering if you are related to a person named Curtis Hunt from Fleming Co. Ky? His father's name was Bannie Hunt. My mother Mary Francis{Bradley}Meyer use to have a man named Curtis Hunt who wanted to marry my mom. I have tried to find him but no luck. I have a picture of my mom taken when she was about 20-25 years{during WWII} it is the same picture that he carried with him during the war. Thank you Patty

You know that phrase, "Ignorance is bliss"? There's a reason it's stuck around all these years. Because having the upper hand in intelligence might give you an advantage in some areas, like crossword puzzle solving and quantum physics-ing, but it also might just screw up your life forever.
Note: Stephen Hawking can talk about how dangerous AI will be in the future, but we're not worried. Because, as this Cracked Classic shows, the more dangerous dangerous robots gather, the more they'll sabotage their own well being, until all the Terminators work themselves to death while the ED-209s drown their inadequacy issues in robo-whiskey. So enjoy this article, and be less scared of robots. -Cracked

5You're Probably a Night Owl -- And That's a Bad Thing
Recently, scientists discovered a quirky side effect to having a high IQ: You tend to stay up until later hours and get up later in the morning. That's right -- the more intelligent are also much more likely to be night owls. Which isn't such a surprise when you consider that intelligent people are infamous for burning the midnight oil to cram for tests, write papers, touch up those earnings reports, etc.
And spending reports.
It appears to just be evolution -- the more intelligent members of a species are, in general, the first to change habits (their big brains are wired to seek out novelty). Since humans have been day-dwellers during most of their existence, it's primarily the smarties who prefer to habitually stay up until the wee hours and to do the types of tasks that are easier to accomplish when you don't have the day-dwellers hanging around and distracting you. Stuff that requires concentration, in other words.
So let the early birds keep their measly worms. The nights owls get to feast on the juicy field mice of accomplishment!
So What's the Problem?
Well, being a night owl does have some negative side effects. And by "some" we mean, "You're pretty much screwed."
And we mean REALLY screwed.
For starters, studies have found that "eveningness" is associated with a high degree of emotional instability. That means you tend to be less agreeable and conscientious than the average Joe. Oh, and you don't just make others' lives miserable. Thanks to your late-night habits, likely brought on by high intelligence, you're also three times more likely to suffer symptoms of depression.
And the fun doesn't end there, geniuses! Turns out that, short of becoming a competitive asbestos eater, staying up late at night is about the worst thing you could do for your physical health. According to a number of studies, night owls are at higher risk for heart disease and suffer more arterial stiffness than those who go to bed early.
It's important to note, however, that not all night owls are geniuses.
The direct cause might have less to do with the fact that you stay up than with some of the other things you're doing while your eyes get all nice and bloodshot. You see, people who tend to stay up late also tend to do other unhealthy things at night, such as overeating. Then, once they do eventually hit the hay, they experience more sleep interruptions when those pesky morning larks get up and start noisying about.
All this adds up to some nasty artery stress and whacked-out circadian rhythms, a nice recipe for a massive coronary. So be sure to thank those dumbass early risers and your high intelligence for your inevitable heart attack.
Causes of death: Morning-type wife and a 155 IQ.
4You're Less Likely to Pass On Your Genes
Another unfortunate stereotype of smart people is that they're socially awkward nerds who are doomed to lives of celibacy until they get out of high school hell. Unfortunately, that one turns out to be totally true.
But it's not all bad news. There's evidence that the highly educated get more enjoyment out of sex than the dumb jocks and that really, all the lovin' you need to be happy comes from having sex with just one partner per year. So even the nerdlingers among us can find one person to get along with, then have highly enjoyable loser-geek sex, eventually leading to populating the planet with loser-geek children, right?
"Timmy! You'd better not be drawing dicks on my math!"
So What's the Problem?
Smart boy, please. Those genes you're carrying aren't going any-goddamn-where. Unbeknownst to the smarties, their education levels and IQ are conspiring to keep them childless and perhaps leading them to adopt 30 cats when they're in their late 70s.
It all starts with the smart ladies. A 2008 national census reported that women who had dropped out of high school had the most children on average. And the more education women achieved, the fewer children they were likely to have, with the fewest children being born to women who had finished graduate school.
The explanation, according to the Census Bureau, is simple: Women wanted to finish school before they were saddled with nine months of fetus-carrying. Then, for smart people of both sexes, there's the career to think about, and promotions, and who has time for a needy mini-human during all that? And of course, IQ plays a direct role here, since it has also been found that women with lower IQs are less likely to know how to use birth control properly, leading to more unplanned pregnancies.
"OK, but I'll need a glass of water. I can't swallow them dry."
But that's just the ladies. The smart fellas must be picking up the slack somehow, right? Maybe by getting a little dumb-girl nookie on the side? Not so. Research shows that countries with high national IQs tend to have lower childbirth rates in general compared with countries that can't collectively tie their shoelaces together. That's right -- entire nations are missing the evolutionary point of fucking as their IQs rise.

Kim Kardashian's Skinny Jeans Show Off Her Big Backside
We spotted Kim Kardashian leaving a Christian Louboutin store in the design district of Miami, Florida, on Wednesday. The reality star wore grey skinny jeans, a black leather peplum blouse and silver stilettos. The outfit accentuated her large derriere.
While out and about, Kim also stopped for lunch at a sandwich shop with her bodyguard.
Jetsetter Kim and her boyfriend Kanye West spent the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star's 32nd birthday in Venice, Italy, on Sunday. The following night they attended the Angel Ball in New York City, and now she's back in Florida.
Despite rumors, it doesn't appear that Kim and Kanye are engaged.

New Phillies Phantasy Camp Video: "A Winning Tradition at Phillies Phantasy Camp"
There were a couple father-son combos at Phantasy Camp last January. This video highlights one of them.
All of the people that get to attend Phantasy Camp are truly very lucky individuals. These particular guys had the best luck of all.
Playing baseball, or even just having a simple catch with someone, is pure joy. But doing that with your father? Indescribable.
2 Comments
You write a great blog, Bryan. Thanks for the linking to our story. As I said to a friend recently, this is probably the best video yet capturing the experience my Dad and I had at Phillies Phantasy Camp earlier this year. I'm not sure if we owe the Phillies something extra for all of the amazing coverage, or if they owe us a return trip for all of the free testimonials, either way, I feel extraordinarily lucky to have this awesome keepsake! They also featured "our story" on an episode of Behind the Pinstripes. You can check it out here: http://vimeo.com/22540065 I also posted a brief photo montage of our week using photos they took of us during camp: http://vimeo.com/21513579
All the best to you. Go Phils!

Andrew Wakefield, the MMR, and a "mother warrior's" fabricated vaccine injury story
As the time came to do my usual weekly post for this blog, I was torn over what to write about. Regular readers might have noticed that a certain dubious cancer doctor about whom I've written twice before has been agitating in the comments for me to pay attention to him, after having sent more e-mails to me and various deans at my medical school "challenging" me to publish a link to his results and threatening to go to the local press to see if he can drum up interest in this "battle." I've been assiduously ignoring him, but over time the irritation factor made me want to tell him, "Be very careful what you ask for. You might just get it." Then I'd make this week's post about him, even though I wasn't thrilled with the idea of giving in to his harassment and giving him what he wants.
That's why I have to thank the ever-intrepid investigative reporter Brian Deer for providing me an alternative topic that is way more important than some self-important little quack and a compelling topic to blog about in its own right. Brian Deer, as you might recall, remains the one journalist who was able to crack the facade of seeming scientific legitimacy built up by antivaccine guru Andrew Wakefield and demonstrate that (1) Wakefield's work concluding that the MMR vaccine was associated with "autistic enterocolitis" was bought and paid for by a solicitor named Richard Barr, who represented British parents looking to sue vaccine manufacturers, to the tune of over £400,000; (2) Wakefield expected to make over £72 million a year selling a test for which Wakefield had filed a patent application in March 1995 claiming that "Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis may be diagnosed by detecting measles virus in bowel tissue, bowel products or body fluids"; and Wakefield's case series published in The Lancet in 1998 was fraudulent, the equivalent of what Deer correctly characterized as "Piltdown medicine." Ultimately, these revelations led to Wakefield's being completely discredited to the point where The Lancet retracted his paper and even Thoughtful House, the autism quackery clinic in Austin, TX where Wakefield had a cushy, well-paid position as scientific director, had to give him the boot. Yes, Wakefield is a fraud, and it's only a shame that it took over a decade for it to be demonstrated.
As much as I hate how it took discrediting Wakefield the man as a fraud rather than just discrediting his bogus science to really begin to turn the tide against the annoying propensity of journalists to look to Wakefield or his acolytes for "equal time" and "balance" whenever stories about autism and vaccines reared their ugly heads, I can't argue with the results. Wakefield is well and truly discredited now, so much so that, as I noted, his prominent involvement probably ruined any chance promoters of the "CDC whistleblower" scam ever had to get any traction from the mainstream press.
What is sometimes forgotten is the effect Wakefield's message has had on parents. These are the sorts of parents who tend to congregate into groups designed to promote the idea that vaccines are dangerous and cause autism, such as the bloggers at the antivaccine crank blog Age of Autism, the equally cranky blog The Thinking Moms' Revolution, or groups like The Canary Party. It is Wakefield's message and the "autism biomed" quackery that it spawned that have led to unknown numbers of autistic children being subjected to the rankest form of quackery in order to "recover" them, up to and including dubious stem cell therapies and bleach enemas.

Colonial Country Club â Jackson Course
Jackson, Mississippi
June 1-4, 2004
Salvo and Mori take over lead in girls division
JACKSON, Miss. â Lion Kim of Lake Mary, Fla. continued his strong play by widening his lead on the boys field by another stroke after the second round of the Nike Golf Junior at Colonial presented by the Mississippi Farm Bureau. Kim fired a 73 to put him 1-under-par for the tournament.
Sarah Salvo of Glendale, Calif., and Sakurako Mori of Ibaraki, Japan, are trying to make their AJGA debuts memorable. The two are deadlocked at the top of the girls division after 36 holes with a 6-over-par 150.
The Nike Golf Junior at Colonial presented by the Mississippi Farm Bureau is a 54-hole stroke play event conducted by the American Junior Golf Association at Colonial Country Club, Jackson Course. The tournament features 84 of the nationâs premier junior golfers, ages 12-15, from 17 states, China and Japan.
Kimâs two-round total of 143 puts him two shots ahead of second place Mu Hu of Shen Zhen, China. Spencer Cole of Greer, S.C., and Blake Nommensen of Houston, Texas, are tied for third.
âIâll take it,â Kim said. âI am satisfied with my overall performance so far.â
Kim said he felt confident he can continue to succeed as long as he puts himself in good positions on the course.
âI just need to play aggressive and shoot for the flag,â Kim said.
In the girls division Salvo entered the second round tied for third place, but carded the low round of the day in the girls division with a 2-over-par 74 that included 14 holes at par or better.
âI feel pretty good about my second round,â Salvo said. âKnowing the course better helped.â
Seeing the course for a second time helped Mori as well.
âI played better than yesterday, but it was still difficult with the wet conditions,â Mori said. âI shot very well on the front nine.â
Mori birdied three of her first six holes and made the turn at 1-under-par 35 and finished with a 75.
First-round leader Courtney Harter of Clearwater, Fla., and Wonjoo Choi, of Murrieta, Calif., are tied for third with a 9-over-par 153.
The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf. The AJGA has a membership (boys and girls ages 12-18) of approximately 5,000 junior golfers from 50 states and 30 foreign countries.
Titleist, the AJGAâs National Sponsor, has been the catalyst and driving force behind the Associationâs success since 1989. Rolex Watch USA, a supporter of the AJGA since 1983, became the inaugural AJGA Premier Partner in 2004.
Final-round tee times will begin at 7:30 a.m. Friday off of Nos. 1 and 10 tees. For more information on the Nike Golf Junior at Colonial presented by Mississippi Farm Bureau, contact AJGA Tournament Headquarters at (601) 956-8567.

Walter Willett, Chair of Nutrition [2] at Harvard School of Public Health, has been instrumental in the development of the Healthy Eating Plate [3], a new user-friendly graphic that aims to help all of us make better decisions about diet and nutrition [4].

For the past three weeks, Kobo's new owner Ben DeRolph has been running on pure adrenaline. An off-handed comment took DeRolph's aspirations of owning his own music venue from pipe dream to reality in no-time flat, and he has been moving at warp speed ever since. Even with the soul-crushing schedule, DeRolph is keeping his cool and getting ready for some exciting changes.
It has always been a pipe dream to do booking at a music venue, and now I own the place. I've wanted to own a bar and book shows forever, but it just never seemed to be the right time. When Tree Bar went up for sale, I wanted it real bad, but my friends beat me to it. So when Kobo opened up, I got lucky.
I was actually just joking around when I said I wanted to buy the bar. Jacob [Wooten] and I were sitting around discussing some things for his band, Mr. Fahrenheit, when I started talking about how jealous I was he got to own and operate a music venue. He laughed to himself and said, "You want to buy it?" When he found out I was seriously considering it, he actually sat me down with a list of things that suck about owning the bar. Even after all that, I still wanted it. Here we are three weeks later, and I'm the owner.
Everybody has been overwhelmingly supportive. Jacob has been cool enough to stay on and help me make the transition. I told the entire staff I wanted them all to stay on, and was happy to see they all did. I've had a lot of my friends and local musicians say to me they're really relieved that I am keeping the place a music venue. I made sure that everybody who had already been booked for a show got to keep their date. The only negativity I really experienced was from a few guys who book mosh-pit shows. Oh yeah, did I mention after I remodel there will be no more mosh pit shows?
I want to class the joint up. A lot of people have been asking me if I plan to change the name and concept right away. For now, I am making subtle changes until we can really re-launch. I plan to introduce some comedy nights and other things in addition to the remodel. I want to have a cool music venue, but I also want that venue to have a classy and unique atmosphere. I switched over all 14 of the taps to craft beers. Except for PBR, that one had to stay.
This has been way more of an undertaking than I expected. I didn't realize how many responsibilities there were with owning and running my own bar, and it seems to be one emergency after another so far. But, at the end of every 14-hour day, I've still been pretty excited. I never thought I'd own my own music venue, and now I do. That's worth all the work.

I am dismayed at the actions of the administration of Coastal Bend College this week. Last Friday, I spent from 10:30 in the morning until around 4:30 listening to the presentations from different parts of the business technology departments at our annual advisory meetings. All of these departments more than justified their existence and continuation with the revenue generated. However, as of yesterday, four positions have been eliminated for next year, including the person who has acted as chair and ACE liaison until now. How does this make sense?
I now feel like my time was wasted on Friday since these decisions were obviously already made in order for them to be implemented so quickly after receiving the data. Why ask for data and input if it will not be utilized in the decision making process?
There have been several regrettable actions taken at CBC over the years, but this is the epitome of back room politics and short-sightedness.

Due to massive dynamic random access memory (DRAM) price drop in the second quarter of the year, virtually all memory makers experienced sales decline by 11% - 47%. However, after managing to trim revenue loss, Samsung Electronics has considerably solidified its market share during the period.
Figures released on Friday by DRAMeXchange indicate that an over 40% average sales price (ASP) slash of DDR2 512Mb chips in Q2 2007 resulted in a 24.4% quarter-over-quarter sales decline among global branded DRAM makers in the quarter. But in spite of revenue decreases, the vast majority of manufacturers still follow their CapEx plans, continuously 12" wafer capacity and migrating to 70nm process. As a result, DRAMeXchange reports about 23% quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) supply bit growth in Q2 2007 amid 24.4% decline in sales.
Due to its efforts to boost wafer starts, to increase the share of products made using sub-80nm manufacturing technology among commodity DRAM shipments to 50% as well as to raise the proportion of niche DRAM products to 50%, Samsung managed to keep its revenue only 12.8% below the Q1 2007 level amid 31% supply bit growth and 40% to 50% ASP drop.
Hynix, who nearly achieved Samsung's DRAM market share last quarter, on the other hand, only saw its quarter-over-quarter bit growth reached 21% in Q2 2007. With more memory production was assigned for commodity DRAM, ASP reduced by 43% quarter-over-quarter and sales slipped by 30%. It still tops as the number-two DRAM maker worldwide, but it now pretty far from Samsung Electronics.
DRAMeXchange observes that most DRAM makers have their QoQ DRAM supply bit growth at over 20% in Q2 2007 only. Since such manufacturers are mostly focused on commodity DRAM production, the price plummet as seen in the previous quarter whittled down their influences. With more Taiwan-based DRAM makers having fresh 12" wafer capacity onboard in the second half of 2007, and more chips to be fabricated on 70nm under cost concern, the global DRAM market is going to see a fundamental structure change in accordingly, DRAMeXchange said.

The Construction of Oriole Park at Camden Yards
The Baltimore Orioles are celebrating the 20th anniversary of Camden Yards this year. Its a big season for the Orioles as they attempt to fight their way out of the cellar while celebrating the stadium that started the ballpark revolution of the 1990's.
I did some poking around some websites and found some great pictures of Camden Yards as it was being built.
I hope you enjoy.
Also, I'll be in Baltimore on opening day, in hopes of snagging one of these commemorative baseballs that the Orioles will be using this year:
Camden Yards looks like this now:
But it once was a pile of dirt
and a vacant warehouse that would be transformed into one of the most beautiful ballparks in the US.
Incorporating the B&O Warehouse, which was built in 1899, was a fantastic idea. It brought us back to the old days of baseball, where stadiums were built to fit into the surrounding neighborhoods.
Here's the outer side of the B&O Warehouse, facing away from the stadium. Just ahead, you see the building that now houses the Babe Ruth museum.
The Warehouse sat dormant for over 20 years, rotting… until 1992.
That's when the Orioles completely renovated it to house offices, a team store, restaurants, a ticket office, etc. What a view.
Here's the foundation of where the center field seats would later be built:
The unfinished exterior of Camden Yards… (is that a real kid in the picture?)
Construction began in 1989
And it took 33 months of work to get the stadium completed.
It was built by HOK Sport, and was the first of the retro ballparks.
There's really not a bad seat in Oriole park. The field is beautiful, the layout is gorgeous, and the Warehouse looming beyond right field is awesome.
Anyone have any idea what part of the stadium this is? A possible hidden chamber underneath the field or seats?
It looks like the upper deck was the first structure put in place. The lower level still looks a mess in this picture:
The stadium by the way cost $110 million to build. By today's standards, that's about $180 million. In contrast with other stadiums that have been built, that's pretty cheap.
Could this be a flag pole out in the famous right field 'flag court?'
How excited were the people of Baltimore when this stadium was being built? Anyone have any personal stories that lived in Baltimore during this time?
The playing surface at Camden Yards is Kentucky Bluegrass.
Once the grass starts getting installed, you know that the end of construction must be close.
A worker takes a breather to look at the beauty that surrounds him:
A view from center field. The upper level looks just about finished.
Looking towards left field into center field.
A view down the left field line from the second deck:
The stadium looks almost complete except for the lower level seating bowl.
One of the final touches is constructing the giant scoreboard in center field.
Since the stadium opened in 1992, millions have people have enjoyed baseball there, including me. I've been there 9 times, making the four hour drive from Pittsburgh.
Maybe one day soon, the Orioles will get their organization turned around like the Rays did in 2008 to be an annual contender. In the meantime, at least they have a beautiful venue to play ball in.
There's only 35 days until opening day, and 2 days until the first broadcasted game on MLB TV (Yankees vs Phillies). And, just 3 more days to win this LA Dodgers shirt.
By the way, welcome to March. Opening Day will be here before we know it.
Also, thank you for reading! February 2012 was my second busiest month in the history of this blog. We logged 11,000 views in the month. I'll keep turning out the entries daily as long as you keep reading. I'm looking forward to doing some ballhawking entries soon! Opening weekend is going to be very busy for me.

Enjoyed it Erik!
Maybe you could do a PNC Park one next?🙂
Have a good weekend.
Yay! Commemerative baseballs!
Those were some great pictures and yes Opening Day is right around the corner!
I love Camden Yards, it's one of the most fan-friendly parks in the league for both ballhawking and autograph collecting
thats very cool
Nice post! I still need to get to Baltimore sometime.
that is a tree being planted, not a flag pole. you can tell by the burlap wrapped around the root ball at the bottom.
Those are some great pics, i have been to Camden once and it was so cool. Also read a book…Ballpart; the building of an american dream it told the whole story about how the stadium came together.

Expert Q & A Answers About
I have testicular cancer and need to have surgery... how will it affect my sex life?
I'm about to have surgery to remove one of my testicles because of testicular cancer. Of course I'm happy that the cancer will be gone, but what will this mean for my sex drive and my ability to perform?
How do I know if I have Peyronie's disease?
I've noticed some changes in my penis lately...for one, I've noticed that my penis is bent and it hurts to have sex. I've been reading about Peyronie's disease. What is it and how do I know if I have it? Will I ever be able to enjoy sex again?
Is it possible to break your penis?
After extensive sexual activity with a younger woman who did all kinds of kinky things with my penis, I sustained injury to my penis and now it's no longer straight during erection. At first it hurt, but it doesn't hurt anymore. I still have sex and am able to climax. However, my erections are not as hard. It almost seems like it was broken or ruptured at the base. Is there anything I can do to get my old penis back?
Do undescended testicles make it more difficult to get an erection?
I am a 30-year-old who was born with an undescended right testicle. Can this issue make it more difficult for me to get an erection? Sometimes I don't get aroused enough for sexual activity, unless I'm really comfortable with the woman and in a long-term relationship. What's wrong with me?
Does previous testicle trauma affect premature ejaculation?
I am a 19-year-old male and about three years ago, I got hit in my testes. They swelled, but eventually returned to normal. Since then, I can't last long when I have sex. Is there anything I can do?
Is it normal for my penis to bend to one side?
My penis is bent toward the left side, which looks odd. I also think my left testes is smaller than the right one. And sometimes after intercourse I feel a little bit of pain in my testes. Why is this? Is there a cure for a bent penis?
I'm uncircumcised. What can I do to keep my penis clean?
I am uncircumcised and have an adhesion so that my foreskin doesn't pull back all the way. Sometimes I get a yellowish lumpy gunk discharge that smells pretty bad under my foreskin. What is this, and what can I do to keep my penis clean?
What do I need to know about getting circumcised as an adult?
I was not circumcised as a child. I'm 19 now and was wondering if it was possible to have it done as an adult. If so, would it change my sensitivity during sex?
Could my recent circumcision decrease feeling in my penis?
I am an 18-year-old male and I was recently circumcised to fix a deformed foreskin. About a month ago, I had sex for the very first time and I couldn't feel a thing – no pleasure, no pain – even though my partner was into it. I wasn't able to ejaculate and haven't had sex since, although I'm able to masturbate. Is it related to my circumcision?
How do I have satisfying orgasms after prostate surgery?
Since I had TURP surgery, my ejaculate goes into the bladder and is discharged with urine. I am homosexual, and now I don't have the same satisfaction from orgasm that I had before. I do climax, but I find myself somewhat frustrated each time. Is there any way to improve this?

Defense wins chmapionships, but not a game against the Nats
Three "Baseball Tonight" web gems, one of which was by the guy above Andy LaRoche, was not enough to keep the Pirates in the game. Ronny Cedeno's backhanded grab and diving double play didn't allow Pittsburgh to put runs on the board. They fell to Washington 8-4. It is tough to swallow a loss like this. One because it was the Nationals, two because it was the Nationals, and three BECAUSE IT WAS THE NATIONALS!
Sorry, but its true. Even though most normal fans would say, "Matt come on its the PIRATES." But the Bucs had no business losing this game. The bullpen faltered and gave up 4 runs after following starter Charlie Morton. Morton pitched pretty well through 5 innings of work. He shut out the Nationals and struck out 2 batters. The straw that broke the Camel's back came in the sixth when Adam Dunn belted a homerun. It was tough to swallow and the runs kept coming from hits and a triple by Christian Guzman. It made me very upset to see Charlie let picthes get away from him. After meeting him in Arizona I really have admired his attitude and I know he has it in him to go out and do a solid job night in and night out. I'll still be rooting hard for him, I just hope the stuffs there longer in the game next time he goes out. The following inning the bullpen came in to give up 4 runs as well. A homerun by Ryan Zimmerman headlined the inning follwed by a bunch of small ball that gave the Nats a good sized lead.
The Bucs offense is not off the hook here either. What started out as a promising game turned ugly and filled with goose-eggs. Andrew McCutchen struck again leading off the first inning with a homerun. He now has 7 on the year and is 2nd on the team with homeruns. It's great to see that his 3-homerun night was not a fluke and he does have some power built inside.
Its a great seeing this sight. The 1-2 punch of McCutchen and Milledge is a match made in heaven. Kind of like and M&M, no pun intended. The charisma they have and established chemistry is great in the clubhouse and at the top of the lineup. Although Milledge did not see the basepaths this game and was 0-5 he still has what the Bucs need. This was the only game Lastings has played in for Pittsburgh without collecting a hit. His failure to reach base may have been a reason for the Bucs failure to put more runs on the board but the rest of the lineup is not off the hook.
3 runs were scored in the first inning and it looked like they were set up nicely to cruise for the W. Steve Pearce, Garrett Jones, Ryan Doumit, set up runs and Delwyn Young scarificed a run in. The rest of the game was dull as the Pirates couldn't score a run until the bottom of the ninth when Doumit doubled in a run.
On top of Milledge's o-fer, Ronny Cedeno and Delwyn Young were as well. Ryan Doumit really needed this game to turn his game around. He did not get a hit in the first 3 games of the series. Tonight he was 3-5 with a run and RBI. From the cleanup spot he needs production and he showed it tonight. If he can turn things around quickly and recover from his early season injury he will be a coveted player at the catching position.
The Pirates finished off this series splitting four games with Washington. They start right back up tomorrow hosting the Diamondbacks. I will be attending this game and am very excited to do so. Its kind of funny that of the last three MLB games I've been too, the D-Backs have been involved. (Arizona was in Colorado when I was there, at home in Chase Field when I was there, and now here in Pittsburgh.) It is safe to say they are quite familiar. I just hope this result is a little different. The Diamondbacks took 3 of 4 from the Pirates out in the Grand Canyon State.
Tonight, I leave with a great quote from a great player.
"I loved the city of Pittsburgh," Sanchez said. "I loved going to the ballpark every day and playing for those fans. They'll always have a special place in my heart for the support they showed after I won that batting title.
"That's a baseball town in my eyes. I hope all the trades work out, because they deserve a winner there. I'm sure it's hard for them right now, but I'll always be watching to see how they're doing."
This quote was taken from an ESPN.com article by Jerry Crasnick. It's greta to see Freddy speaking with such admiration and understanding. I still wish him the best even though he is 3,000 miles away. It does however pain me to see this….

*Another McCutchen homerun was awesome to see – He's taking his talent beyond the 'hits' margin at this point and becoming the heart of the team with every new feat. If he can park three in four games, then he's also capable of having a 30 homerun season one of these years…
Rough loss in Washington though. The Nationals played well, and Pitt got a taste of the Nyjer and Burnett they traded away. I can't believe how well Doumit's doing – It's great to see him healthy again because he's a monster…
The Nats are "better" then their record would have you think. Just as the Red Sox and Yankees! And the Pirates, I'm sure, will bounce back from this. I can't help but wonder if all the trades of late are taking a mental toll on the Buccs. Good luck and have fun at the game tonight!
That was a great play by the middle infielders. It was the top play on Sportscenter this morning.
That was a tough loss, I agree they shouldn't have lost that one, but as with a number of games when one team gets a few unexpected hits and scores a couple of runs, its like everything goes there way and unfortunately the Pirates got it against them in the 6th and 7th last night.. Plenty more to play, have fun at the game
Matt: I'm sorry about Freddy Sanchez. It must be very hard to say goodbye to all the players you admire. I wish, for the sake of the fans, the Pirates would actually keep their players.
Minor League baseball is a lot of fun, but I would also rather go to major league games. The minor league games are really cheap, and it's a short drive since I live in the Hudson Valley. It's a better value. But no question: if I had the money, I would buy Yankee season tickets! -Virginia
Tough Loss for the Pirates. But on the bright side, McCutchen is on Fire!!!! Have fun at the game versus the D-Backs!!!
Matt: Peekskill is about 45 minutes from Dutchess Stadium. You'd take Route 9 north from Peekskill until Interstate 84 west. It's right off 84 in Wappinger's Falls. It's a very easy drive. I am familiar with the town a bit. It is a nice place. -Virginia
The Nationals are driving me nuts this year. I think the Padres recently lost a series to them, and it was terrible! Man…frustrating. But that just goes to show how bad the Padres were🙂
McCutchen is a special player and is fun to watch.
Hopefully they can build around him for the future.
Sorry about the loss. I hope that when the dust settles from all the trading that you have a fantastic team. I think it's really hard when so many players get traded. As you can see, I become very attached to my players. That's why I dread the trading. At the beginning of one seson, I didn't know any of the players except Olmeido Saenz and he was just the pinch hitter. It was very distressing.
I remember when Milledge was a Met. He did not have very good behavior. At first everyone thought he had a lot of energy and he was a great clubhouse guy, but eventually he became a distraction. When he hit his first major league homer he first jumping around all over the place, even high fiving fans while running the bases. I don't know if he ever matured.
Good game last night. Good for Ronny Cedeno for getting the only hit for you guys, it's nice to see him do well.
Lastings Milledge almost released a rap album once, but the Mets didn't let him…did I mention this before?
I was incredibly shocked when they traded Sanchez and Wilson. I always thought they meant too much to the organization. After I found out I figured things in Pittsburgh wouldn't be the same. I hope you guys bounce back and the guys you have now warm up to the fans. Tough loss. It's never fun to lose to a sub-.500 team.

Are you looking to improve your relationship? Follow these tips to achieve a healthy relationship.
Try new activities together. Find something you can both do together instead of always doing the same activities or having separate hobbies.
Tweak your diet to boost your sex life. Eating certain foods, like almonds, can boost your sex drive.
Don't hide your spending. Some partners find it necessary to hide purchases from their loved one. This can lead to more tension later, so it's better to be up front right away.
Ladies, wear red. Men tend to find women sexier when they wear red instead of blue or green.
Are you concerned about your lack of a sex drive? If so, you should seek medical help.
To increase your sex drive, work out regularly. You can also try working out with your partner to spend more time together as you're getting into shape.
Eat spicy food. Eating spicy food can help increase your heart rate and release endorphins.
Quit smoking. Smoking can cause erectile dysfunction and numerous other health issues. Help your partner quit and provide them with the support they need so you can both live healthier lives.
Remember to work as a team to raise your kids. Also, remember to schedule some time for yourselves away from the kids to work on your relationship.
Family immigration: Under current law, U.S. citizens can sponsor spouses, children and siblings to come to the U.S., with limits on some categories. The bill would bar citizens from sponsoring their siblings and would allow them to sponsor married sons and daughters only if those children are under age 31.
Careers play a large role in our lives and they can also cause stress. Talk to your partner about your issues with your career, as well as your aspirations.
Make sure you get enough sleep. Getting a proper amount of sleep each night can act as an aphrodisiac.
Be confident with your body. Sometimes women shy away from intimacy if they are uncomfortable with their bodies.
Don't compare yourselves to other couples. All relationships are different so just focus on what works for you.
Don't bring electronics into bed. You should focus on your partner in bed, not your e-mail, phone or laptop.
Understand that it's OK to fight once in a while. An occasional spat can lead to great make-up sex.
Eat seafood as an aphrodisiac. Oysters are commonly thought of as aphrodisiacs but others, like salmon, can also have the same effect.
Get away together. When the stress becomes too much at home, or if you find yourselves drifting apart, take a short trip together out of town to get away from it all and focus on each other.
Before your problems get out of control seek help. Not all problems can be solved on your own, so don't be afraid to ask for professional help.
Before you can be in a healthy relationship, make sure you are healthy and stable first.

Washington State's Unconscionable, Unconstitutional Child Protection Law
I recently wrote about the conflict between child protection and the religious freedom of believers in faith healing. That issue has reared its ugly head again in the state of Washington.
Washington law currently denies the children of Christian Scientists equal protection under the law governing child abuse and neglect, and it grants a special exemption from criminal prosecution for abuse and neglect to that one specific religion and not to any others. Even if you supported religious exemptions in principle, there would be no excuse for the preferential treatment of one single religion. This law is clearly unconstitutional. (more…)


text: I have breastfeeding my 4 month old since day one, only pumping when I was engorged at about 3 months ago. My son recently began having issues with constipation. So, I tried to pump this evening so that I could add karo syrup to it to help him along a little, but was only able to pump out about 1/4 oz total from both sides. I'm not sure how long my son has not been getting any milk from me so I'm concerned to say the least. Is it normal to stop lactating while still breastfeeding exclusively? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Flesh Flies and CSI!Since it's October I decided to focus the rest of this month's posts on Halloween inspired themes. Wracking my brains for topics, I realized something I saw last week in the basement would fit the bill nicely. Flesh flies!
Generally the Live Animal Program doesn't keep flesh flies but Shawna Joplin, Coordinator of Animal Care and Education, brought them in as a new food source for our spiders in the Spider Pavilion (open through November 6). The species we are keeping are grey flesh flies, Sarcaphaga bullata, which get shipped to us a pupa. After about a week and a half the adult flies emerge from the puparium and are ready for us to release into the pavilion.

Since the dawn of time, man has tested his mettle against the challenges of nature. Even today, harsh weather, vicious beasts and the unknown summon us like a call to duty. And it was in the spirit of that time-honored manliness that I took my wife and kids for a camping vacation in Lake George, New York, last week. No electricity. No YouTube or Twitter. There were some who doubted that a suburban man in his 30s could conquer all the obstacles of the wild, but I was confident. After all, I've stared down the barrel of hundreds, if not thousands, of angry Internet comments. Nothing could stop me.
Over the course of three days, Mother Nature, man and even machines rose up against me, but I continued undaunted through all this adversity, conscious that when it was all over, I would have a tale to tell the Cracked audience -- if they were brave enough to listen!
4 Man vs. The Elements
It's important to start your vacation bright and early, like our pioneering forefathers. Of course, those dudes didn't have to worry about packing activities and snacks, so they had it easy. We hit the road at 10:40 a.m. and drove a little over 200 miles to Lake George. Correction: It was supposed to take 200 miles, but we drove 320 after getting lost on 90 West. A lesser man would have cried and had his wife drive him home, but I ventured on.
We arrived at our campsite. A cruel place devoid of shelter:
The horrifying desolation.
Nevertheless, through sheer ingenuity (and the purchase of a tent), I created shelter with my bare hands:
A lovely tent. Children not included.
But shelter alone would not ensure our survival. Like cavemen of old, we needed to conquer fire. I surveyed the land and considered the appropriate tree to fell with my mighty axe -- the forest timber trembling at the very sight of me. Ultimately, however, I decided to be merciful and hand my kids six bucks to purchase a wheelbarrow of chopped wood from the campsite store.
Oh, and lighter fluid. They bought that, too.
But my challenges were not over. Mother Nature had another cruel trick up her sleeve. Instead of the metal fire pit to which I was accustomed, this campsite had merely rocks in a circle. Rocks! How to balance my grills upon such an unforgiving surface without burying our food (in this case, lots of Morningstar Farms veggie products) in flames? After many calculations, I surmised that adding four additional flattish rocks would solve the problem.
I am a freakin' genius.
We spent the first night in our tent -- our bellies full of corn on the cob, veggie dogs, veggie burgers and baked beans. (I'm not a vegetarian. The meat was still frozen solid in the cooler.) On our second night, however, we would face our greatest challenge from the elements.
At 10 p.m., it started to rain. Then more. And more. My wife worried about getting soaked, but I assured her that our tent was waterproof, and it was. Then the lightning started. My wife expressed concern about the dangers of lightning, and I assured her that, being so low to the ground, we were unlikely targets. Then she pointed out the ease at which lightning could hit one of the more likely targets (trees) and send a branch down to crush our tent. After about 30 seconds of picturing that image, we got into the minivan and did what any fearless warriors would: We drove 15 miles to a hotel advertising the "cheapest rates in town." There, we successfully battled mold and questionable bedding until morning broke, shining upon our glorious victory over the weather.
3 Man vs. Animal
So we'd conquered the elements, but if this camping vacation were to be a success, we'd have to face animals as well. I was really hoping to catch some fish -- mostly because the food in Lake George was insanely overpriced. So after picking up some night crawlers and fake Gummi Worm-esque bait that I was told would be good for bass, I piled the family into the rowboat and set off in search of our bounty. Any fisherman will tell you, you're supposed to go out as early as you can, which is why my family went out at 10 a.m., much to the mockery of the lady who owned the campsite.
First, I made some earthworms my bitch, because I have the strength of 10 men.
No CGI was used in this pic.
Within moments of putting this baby into the water at the end of my youngest child's Transformers fishing pole, he caught a perch. Now, while I'm not opposed to fishing, I don't like the idea of things suffering. For that reason, like all bold and brave fishermen, prior to the trip I had looked up how to kill a fish quickly and humanely. (I wasn't confident in my neck-snapping abilities. Also, the closest thing I've ever had to a recurring nightmare is trying to put something out of its misery by breaking its neck and only making it suffer more.)
So, as soon as I pulled this bad boy from the water, I prepared to remove the hook and destroy the brain, as you would with any zombie. Well, first off, the hook was not in his mouth, as I'd been taught by countless cartoons, but somewhere in the middle of his body. He'd swallowed the hook. That happens, apparently, and I have to imagine that's like 30 times more unpleasant. Accordingly, it was even more important for me to put him out of his misery. I got my knife, but unlike decaying human flesh or the Spanish mackerel in the vid, perch have super bony, hard heads. So basically I realized all my nightmares by burying a hook in a fish's gullet and then poking him in the head with a knife while he struggled to breathe. After about five very long seconds, I proceeded to just chop his head off.
In total, we caught five motherfucking fish! (I can only assume perch and bass take mothers to Lake George to have sex with them.) By the end, I got much better at the braining part, and the day ended with my wife catching the biggest bass yet. Here they are, all dead and totally dominated (I threw one back for being too small).
From left to right: Fortey, ATB, Swaim and Seanbaby.
But my domination of the animal kingdom didn't stop there. On our last day, my son spotted a tiny frog. Who captured it in a cup? Me!
Not so bad now, are you?
Not impressed? Hmm. Well, I totally showered in the campsite showers, even though there were like tons of daddy longlegs crawling about. No? Well, fine, I don't like to brag, but at one point while we were hiking a nature trail, I totally bitch-slapped a bear until he took a family picture for us. Here's the proof:
(Sometimes I mix up the words "bear" and "nice Indian family.")

John L. Lumpkin: The Associated Press
FORT IRWIN, Calif. — Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has reservations about the base closure commission's decision to spare several high-profile installations, saying the commission focused on the economic impact of some bases instead of their military usefulness.
Rumsfeld said he was uncertain whether he would recommend to President Bush that he accept the proposed closures as modified by the commission. An unfavorable opinion from the White House could send the matter back to the panel.
"We've got our people analyzing what they have proposed," the defense secretary said. "Some of it is difficult to understand."
Rumsfeld, speaking to reporters Monday en route to a meeting with soldiers at this training base in the California desert, said the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission's sparing of several bases proposed for closure would reduce the savings to the government by at least 15 percent.
He said the commission had substantially different priorities than the Pentagon.
"They seem to have put a much heavier weight on economic impact, (rather) than military value, than we did," he said.
In May, the Pentagon proposed closing or consolidating a record 62 major military bases and 775 smaller installations to save $48.8 billion over 20 years, make the services more efficient and reposition the armed forces.
The commission last week overturned the Pentagon's recommendations and spared a naval shipyard and submarine base in the Northeast and a bomber base in South Dakota, among others.
Still, Rumsfeld said, the changes amount to only 15 percent to 20 percent of the Pentagon's total proposals for closure. In previous BRAC rounds, commissioners changed roughly the same amount, he said.
At Fort Irwin, Rumsfeld spoke to hundreds of soldiers, including members of the 4th Infantry Division, based at Fort Hood, Texas, who are set to go to Iraq in December. He thanked them for their service and spoke to them of the importance of their mission.

One fall my husband decided to buy extra alfalfa, the idea being we could sell it during the winter and make some extra money. He stacked it behind the house so it would be easy to back trailers down the lane when people bought only a few bales.
It worked. By January, people passing by would see the nice big haystack and stop in for a few bales for their horses or show lambs. I'd open the gates for them, and while they were loading up I'd burn the trash and tend to other chores outside.
Our irrigation well had to be primed, so I'd carry a bucket of water from in the house, pour it in the big hose, then flip the switch. While I had it going I'd fill the drinking tubs and water everything that looked dry. It was a dry winter, and the famous New Mexico winds began in early February.
You're ahead of me, aren't you? Yep, sometimes I think I have scrambled eggs for brains. It was a clear, sunny, still February day and nobody was around when I decided to go ahead and burn the trash. I don't know where that big wind came from, but it lifted some sparks out of the barrel and dropped them precisely on — the haystack.
It took maybe 10 seconds for the wind to turn those sparks to flames.
No problem, I thought. I'll use the irrigation well to put it out. Only for some reason my legs didn't work right. I tried to run and fell down. I gathered myself up, and couldn't find my water bucket. I heard crackling noises and smelled smoke. My eyes wouldn't focus. Where was the bucket? Finally, I got a pitcher from the house, but my hands shook so much half the priming water didn't make it into the hose. I had to refill the pitcher.
Finally, I got the pump primed and water gushed out. By then, that hay was burning fine. The horse trailer parked beside the stack was smoking, too.
After what seemed like at least an hour, I managed to get the hoses strung together and water going in the right places. Only about a third of the hay was lost when I got the fire put out. Hay smolders, though, so I stayed there, water still running, practicing various explanations, until my husband came to the house.
It's difficult to explain stupidity, though, so I resorted to my best smile (not realizing my face was grimy and my clothes were muddy and black) and said, "It caught fire, but I got it put out."
Just then the floor fell out of his horse trailer. He did not smile back.
I learned something important that day. A cowboy will forgive you for ruining his hay, but you'd better not mess up his horse trailer.

Early morning meet and greet was neat
Andy and I showed up early (6:30 AM) and were the first ones here. Yesterday we were the only ones here all morning and we didn't go after the morning autographs. Today at around 7 am a group of autograph hunters showed up. Things were really slow at first and I had a few players turn me down.
But then I started getting lucky. Our first autograph was from Luis Gonzalez, he was cool. That's Andy waiting to get his program signed. Me, I was working on my team bat.
Then Chris Frey showed up and was kind enough to sign for the group.
Next was # 23 pitcher Greg Smith.
Taylor Buchholz signed and was real friendly.
Here's # 48 Jason Hirsh, he signed for me yesterday too, nice guy.I didnt get pictures of all the players who signed my bat. Sometimes taking pictures and chasing down players doesn't work so well together. I can tell you I was hoping to get a few autographs on the bat today and I ended up with 16 signatures.
Garrett Atkins, Troy Tulowitzki, Omar Quintinilla, Carlos Gonzalez, Ian Stewart, Taylor Buchholz, Franklin Morales, Matt Murton, Greg Smith, Glendon Rusch, Ryan Spilborghs, Michael McKenry, Luis Gonzalez, Matt Miller and Steven Register. One I'm still trying to figure out.
Best two hours of autograph collecting in my life, un freggin believable. The Rockies are awesome for taking care of their fans.
I saw Todd Helton going in, I couldn't catch him and he wasn't signing this morning. Tomorrow morning I'm making a sign that says "Mr Helton I've been trying for 8 years to get your autograph, will you please sign my bat" I hope it works.
Here's what my bat looks like now.
Time to go over to the practice fields and look for Josh Fogg and Todd Helton…D
12:27 I'm back.
Look who I ran into.
You'll never guess what he did for me.
I also obtained autographs from Brad Hawpe (whom I've never managed to get before) and Chris Iannetta, both on World Series balls. I'll post all that later. Time to go watch game two agains the White Sox.
Oh, I got some video of Helton at batting practice and he was killing it. He hit farther than all the other players. He looks healthy and strong to me. Todd was cool to me when he signed my baseball. All I had time to say was "It's an honor and thank you very much".
What a day, and it's not over. Finall, I snagged my favorite players autograph and watched him take BP ten feet away from me. I'm so glad I made this trip this year.

That mini bat is sickkkkk!!!!! What a piece for a collector like yourself. I wonder what you're going to do with this gem…Enjoy the rest of the day man! Can't wait to catch up with the blog when I get back from work…Good luck!
– Donnie
Hey D,
WOW! I am seriously drooling over that list of autographs. This morning's score alone made the trip a success.
Can't wait for your next update.
Sometimes you got to bang them over the head to get an autograph.
I had a friend who played on the Rays back in 2000, and he was always giving me his broken bats and when he left the team I had not even noticed that he did not sign one of them. I actually thought it was funny at the time.
You see some people so much you forget to get their autograph, or even a picture with them because you chat.
Awesome job on the bat signings today. That sign idea for Helton sounds like a true winner. you can always tell him you are a U of T grad. lol
Rays Renegade
THAT ROCKS! I'm so glad you finally got His autograph. Enjoy the game.
Looks like you are having a blast. Though I would have never known that was Helton's autograph if you didn't say so. Most players today seem to have horrible penmanship!
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
D, you really scored today (though the rockies didn't seem to, much) I'm so glad you finally got Helton's autograph!!!
I am getting pretty jealous of everyone at these spring training games. I might win a contest and get to go to the all star game though.
Congratulations AGAIN this entry. I think February 26, 2009 will be a day you'll remember for the rest of your life. The entire trip for sure, but this day in particular. Continue with all the success my friend! Good luck!
– Donnie
DONNIE-Thank you brotha. Today has been unreal.
METSMAN-Do it man, make that trip. It is totally worth it.
KYLIE-I'm still buzzing , Helton, Hawpe and Iannetta on WS baseballs.
ALEX-Yep two in a row we've lost. But all the main players didn't play today.
SUE-I really like Helton's autograph. It's different but cool.
JULIA-Close to 30 autographs so far. I'm taking tomorrow off.
R-LUV-Thanks, I caught Helton going around a building and hit him up. It was just me and he said "No problem" when I said thanks.
RAYSREN-I got some props from Thomas Harding in his MLBlog (Beat writer for the Rockies on my sidebar), he posted a picture of the MBU.
Thats all really cool. I just started my own blog http://therockshow.mlblogs.com/ I am really enjoying it and am getting into it for the first time. I am a life long Rockies fan, 23, so I was lucky enough to grow up on the Rockies. I can't believe you got a world series ball signed by Todd that is way cool I think I would loose my mind if I got him to sign anything. I almost cried when he gave his interview after the NLCS. Anyway just was reading some blogs and really liked yours keep it up.
Congrats on Helton, man. I've been sleeping out at Miller Park for the last few nights! Great job with the graphs and those World Series baseballs looks awesome!
Now get some snaggin' in!
