Try as I might to egg on the discussion, there was not much interest on TT.so, somebody ask a pertenant theological question:)Any thing pertinent, Izzy? I would love to get some further inputs into the subject. One request I would make is for you, G, to detail a few of the stronghold demolitions that he delivers in his books. That would be interesting to me.>IOW'in other words'>And WHY is a 23 year old female allowed to play on the over 50 BB team?>(Need I really ask???)it's ok--apparently not what you were thinking...her Dad plays center field for that team; also, their team has a couple of former Colorado 'Silver Bullets'--a pro women's bb teamit's interesting; she was an all-state sb player who got into bb (her first /only 'love':) bec of her Dad's interest; she's an excellent pitcher (as well as 1b) who works as a youth bb instructor at the Colo Baseball and Softball Assoc, housed in a big steel building partitioned with nets/cages, etc. for pitching and batting lessons/practice, etc., where i met her...a bb manager i know let me work out with his team in the off season; one day outa the blue, she asked me if i know her Dad (i do) (and she's as good a bb player as he is, too:)..now we're arch-rivals--sorta like you and me <rof>:)You do have a blast slogging it out with Izzy, don't you. I hope you realize the reason she keeps standing up to you (and others on TT) so successfully... It's because she is full of Shields ....Oh, oh, Baaaad joke... Hey, I'm taking liberties on TT that I don't usually allow myself. Maybe it's because I get criticized for my bad jokes enough down here, I don't want to face a TT onslaught as well
Seeing I don't have protection like Izzy, I better just lie low with the humour, right Mrs. Shields???
