I wrote this as a test for the action alert system we use at work... It's not true, but it's kind of entertaining...
The Future of baseball is at risk.
Many of you are friends of baseball and work hard to maintain the important status of the game as “America’s Pastime.” However, an unforeseen risk has taken shape in the form of the designated hitter rule.
As you will all be aware, the Designated Hitter (DH) rule is currently in place in the American League. This rule allows a pitcher to sit out his at-bat and replaces him with a batter who has not been fielding during the game.
While this may seem like a ridiculous rule for many reasons, today, at We Heart the National League (WHNL), we’re focusing on the fact that strategy is lost by the DH rule. We feel that managers are not forced to make hard decisions when they have the opportunity of subbing for the pitcher.
We have accepted the disappointment of allowing the American League to use the DH as best as we can. However, Major League Baseball (MLB) is proposing to allow all teams (including the National League) to use DH’s.
We strongly urge you to contact your Congressional Representatives to urge them to contact MLB on our behalf to stop this atrocity!!!

Five Childhood Beliefs that now make me giggle
1- That the Buffalo Bills were from Buffalo, Wyoming, a small town next to my hometown with about 3,000 people in it.
2- That all sand was white (I had spent summers in Pensacola, FL) and the only reason California sand was dark was because of pollution.
3- That pre-mortal (a Mormon-coined phrase that relates to doctrine – basically saying that peoples’ souls were in heaven before they came to earth) was the same thing as primordial. I wasn’t sure if we were all tadpoles in heaven or if heaven was in the ocean.
4- That Haley’s Comet had something to do with the Challenger explosion. Yes, I know they didn’t happen the same year, but it seemed like it afterwards
5- That Ronald Reagan was in movies because he was the President of the United States. Who wouldn’t want W to be the star of their movie, right?
