  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

Lost My Best Friend

    My cousin Joe died on the 4th of July last week of cardiac arrest. Just got back from New York for his funeral.

    He was my son's mentor, my friend and the only guy I knew who understood baseball like me so we would have long deep discussions about why, when or if something should happen during a game.

    He was also a pro pitcher in his day and spectacular coach and teacher for 30 years. The veiwing was packed with his former students, players and colleagues.

    We attended so many games and armchaired the whole game. We talked two or three times a week on the phone and if I didn't call him he would call me.

    I'm gonna miss him!
