Happy New Season to All!

Hey everyone. I just wanted to say hello, and that I hope all of you are well. I have been away from the site for a while, and hope to spend more time back here. Warren, you are still doing a tremendous job with the site, and I appreciate all you and the other members do in making this a great resource without all the BS that goes on at some of the other sites out there.

It's been quite a crazy off-season for me, one that lasted longer than normal. I finally did my first game a couple nights ago. This off-season started with my stepfather becoming ill, and ended with him passing away a month ago. When I went out to California for the funeral, I was hospitalized and had to get my gall bladder removed the night before the funeral, so it was a pretty bizarre week, to say the least. Fortunately, it was done laparascopically, so it only put me on the 15 day DL instead of the 60, so I only missed the first couple of weeks of the season.

Now, I am back, and ready to go, with a full schedule of HS games to work. I'm looking forward to becoming a member of the community again, and chatting with you all. Thanks again, for all that you do!

Welcome back and hopefully you are healthy for the season.

Welcome back, and thank you for the kind words.

Sorry to hear about your rough off season.

Thanks, guys. I'm feeling pretty good, I'm restricted from the plate until next week, but getting a few games on the bases this weeks to work out the kinks, and getting back up to speed.
