Hey Y4L, I’ve been getting a kick out of your weekly articles and they have become a refreshing read compared to the dreck of popular news or the issues of the daily work week. I do agree with your point about the unintelligible garble that comes out of the drive-thru intercom systems. It’s also extremely frustrating to couple it with someone you cannot understand. I’m all for speaking whatever language you want in your own home or neighborhood; but don’t put people who cannot speak clearly on the mike at every drive-thru. I have to deal with that at least 3 times a week here in southern California and since I do not speak Spanish…well let’s just say that I have had many messed-up orders (I’ve stopped counting). Sheesh! Also, thank you for the positive compliments. I hope that some of my contributions can enhance the game for us die-hard fans of MVP Baseball and I will definitely continue my efforts. Take Care, Dennis

Hey All, I wanted to pass on a testimonial on a pretty good baseball book I just finished this past weekend. "Big Hair and Plastic Grass: A Funky Ride Through Baseball and America in the Swinging '70s" (nice short title) is some light reading and a fun look back into Major League Baseball throughout a truly transitional decade of the 1970s. Virtually all aspects that you could think of are covered in this book, my man Oscar Gamble's hair, Bill "The Spaceman" Lee's hemp-induced dietary supplement, and the other effects that social and pop-culture events had on Baseball and vice-versa. The book cover alone makes it a worthwhile purchase. I just wished it came with a large poster of it.... Speaking of Mr. Gamble...I want to take the time to give much thanks again to all of you guys who have been involved in the TC Mods for MVP Baseball. I had just discovered these things in the past couple of months and love them all to death. A lot of the newer games are pretty cool; but I will always contend that with MVP Baseball, you get a great modern (with the updates) baseball game and the mods give the HISTORY of the game as well. Thanks again guys, how else would I be able to play my 1975 Cleveland Indians in their awesome all-red uniforms? Finally, I was going through some Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes stored on my computer the other day and found this cool clip from a movie called "The Horror at Party Beach" I got a kick out of it... http://s742.photobucket.com/albums/xx63/onizuka03/?action=view&current=OscarGambleDoll.flv
