Rick, You are absolutely right about the three survival times, To bad, seems this world is going to hell in a handbag! Gary

Update on the 15 year old kid, now 16, who kicked the man to death in Syracuse. He will be supervised and secured for no more than 18 months. While they did not say, I assume the "secured" will be in some sort of a detention home, not a prison.

Regarding these brutal beatings in the last few weeks if they were my father, brother, child or any close relative I would like the option of taking a Louisville slugger and personally give them a wood shampoo instead of watching the state diddle around for 15-20 years incarcerating them and giving them 3 squares, cable tv and an exercise room. Now that would be justice in my world and quite satisfying I may add. I guess that's the Italian in me talking.

Gentleman,

Let us keep politics out of the PGCA forum.

Thank you,
Mark

I only have two Louisville Sluggers in my collection. One is a 34 that I used all the way through my boyhood baseball career. It was a little big for me when my Dad first bought it for me about 1953 or 1954, but I choked up and grew into it just fine. It developed a bit of a rattle in it a few years into its use, but I haven't been able to feel the rattle for years. When I first felt the rattle, I tried to test it for awhile, but was never able to break it. It is a very unusual bat with a very thin grip area. My second Slugger is a 33 that I used in First Army competition. I guess it really didn't belong to me, but I developed an attachment to it and took it home after the 1969 season. It has no US markings on it, so I guess it is not a collectors item.

Look closely for a W.F. & Co.

I thought my small Slugger collection and my short Army baseball career would get more attention. Oh, well.

I liked it Bill, baseball has become a hot topic in our house with the boys playing T-ball and the Red Socks winning the World Series again. The win came a good time to motivate my boys.
On the original topic, I have a funny sign my friend made me that says "Due to the high price of ammo, no warning shots will be fired".
