Heyward had the chance to be a hero tonight.

This Mikey guy...how old is he? By reading these posts he sounds like a child who shouldn't be allowed near the internet without adult supervision.

I THINK HE IS 64, HARD TO BELIEVE. I LIKE YER STYLE, JEDI! AND HIS MINI-ME, TECEARWIG IS JUST AS MUCH AN INFANTILE IDIOT!

BTW, anyone who doesn't know this is a jtpops alias just isn't trying.

All my posts are redlined. jtpops checked in 2 hours before this. What posts are the jedi reading?

Jeez, be smarter, jtpops.

It's ironic that the guy who is always accusing others of lying and trying to act tough behind their computers is constantly having to make stuff up to make himself look better. I'm starting to believe BL was actually telling the truth in that whole sitemail saga. 98% of what MichelleT says is BS.

You're hilarious. You tell your fabricated story and redline all posts that get to the truth.

I'll make it simple. Why did you join Doubleday? Hundreds of openings. That world rolled in August. There are worlds with less openings. Why that one?

And as I said, not too bright. Keep posting though.

Here's a hint. Excessive redlining will get your posting rights removed. I know. Keep redlining.

Not. Too. Bright.

OK, don't say I didn't warn you.

I am here to state
I'm here to relate
To explain
And make it plain that:
I`m just wild about Harry
And Harry's wild about me

Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that "all men are created equal."

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it, as a final resting place for those who died here, that the nation might live. This we may, in all propriety do. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow, this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have hallowed it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here; while it can never forget what they did here.

It is rather for us the living, we here be dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth

On topic?

Fans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about a bad break I got. Yet today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth.

I have been in ballparks for seventeen years and have never received anything but kindness and encouragement from you fans. Look at these grand men. Which of you wouldn’t consider it the highlight of his career just to associate with them for even one day?

Sure I’m lucky.

Who wouldn’t consider it an honor to have known Jacob Ruppert? Also, the builder of baseball’s greatest empire, Ed Barrow? To have spent six years with that wonderful little fellow, Miller Huggins? Then to have spent the next nine years with that outstanding leader, that smart student of psychology, the best manager in baseball today, Joe McCarthy?

Sure I’m lucky.

When the New York Giants, a team you would give your right arm to beat, and vice versa, sends you a gift - that’s something. When everybody down to the groundskeepers and those boys in white coats remember you with trophies -- that’s something.

When you have a wonderful mother-in-law who takes sides with you in squabbles with her own daughter -- that’s something.

When you have a father and a mother who work all their lives so you can have an education and build your body -- it’s a blessing.

When you have a wife who has been a tower of strength and shown more courage than you dreamed existed -- that’s the finest I know.

So, I close in saying that I might have been given a bad break, but I've got an awful lot to live for.
