    Me too! It said that they hope my holiday is a home run. Does that mean they hope my holiday is overrated or a rally killer?

    I don't know if he kept it up in later years, but the late Joe Nuxhall used to send Reds-themed Christmas cards, along with a personal note, to virtually every fan who had written him over the course of a season.

    I think they mean that they hope chicks dig your holiday.

    I got one. I thought it was because I did work for them at the station.

    Apparantely, I'm not special.

    I got that too. It's a cute card and kudos to the boy who designed it.

    Hey! I didn't get one!
    That does it, I'm returning the clone I made from one of Greg Maddox's nose hairs. Or was it Mike Maddox?

    Oh, it fits this organization. :
    "My mission is to be the ray of hope, the guy who stands out there on that beautiful field and owns up to his mistakes and lets people know it's never completely hopeless, no matter how bad it seems at the time. I have a platform and a message, and now I go to bed at night, sober and happy, praying I can be a good messenger." -Josh Hamilton
