Back in my college days when Erik first told me that his grandfather was an MVP in the Big Leagues (1942 when he was elected MVP over Ted Williams who had a Triple Crown season), my off-the-cuff response was something to the effect of 'Maybe your grandfather played in the major leagues, but there was no way he was an MVP'. In my defense, Erik had a nasty habit back then of routinely stretching the truth - if not flat out completely fabricating grandiose stories - and these were the days before all the world's knowledge was quickly available Googling and Wiki'ing at my fingertips.<br><br>I'm heading off to Seattle tomorrow and I'll be at the Mariners / Jays game Wednesday afternoon - although with no connections this time - I'm sitting all the way back in row 32 behind the plate. I hope the Jays trade their ace and probable starter Roy Halladay prior to that game, otherwise there are likely to be a lot of silent M's bats.<br><br>-Scott<br><br><br><hr>Windows Live™ Hotmail®: Celebrate the moment with your favorite sports pics.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.windowslive.com/Online/Hotmail/Campaign/QuickAdd?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_QA_HM_sports_photos_072009&cat=sports">Check it out.</a><br><hr>Windows Live™ Hotmail®: Celebrate the moment with your favorite sports pics.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.windowslive.com/Online/Hotmail/Campaign/QuickAdd?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_QA_HM_sports_photos_072009&cat=sports" target="_new">Check it out.</a>=======================================================<br>List services made available by First Step Internet,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>serving the communities of the Palouse since 1994. <br> <a href="http://www.fsr.net">http://www.fsr.net</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> <br> <a href="mailto:Vision2020@moscow.com">mailto:Vision2020@moscow.com</a><br>=======================================================</div></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
