I’ve done about 20 posts here in the last couple of weeks.  I need a little breather.  So I will be taking a day or two off from the keyboard to just kind of regroup.  I hope you guys are enjoying The Blog.  Subscribe to it!!  It will automatically alert you when a new post has been written.  I appreciate all of the comments you guys are making, the pictures being sent in, and the feedback we are getting.  We even had a comment a couple of days ago from someone called “JimmyMack35″……you know what’s cool about that?  I have NO idea who JimmyMack35 is!!  JimmyMack35 posted a comment in the story “Estimated Cost…$10,000.00…”   I think you guys might like my response to his question.  Keep in mind…this is an attempt from someone to kind of “get in our dugout”….so perhaps you guys might want to say something to “JimmyMack35” as well.  So if you are reading this out there “JimmyMack35” please don’t take offense to our responses…we’re kind of protective of “our dugout.”  And to the rest you folks out there reading this who have no affiliation with any of us….ROCK ON!!!  Thanks for checking in and reading all of the great stories………..

I will be posting more stats and I’m trying to get my scanner working so I can get some stories in here that were originally written by the L.A. Times, Daily News, and Foothill Leader.  I still have just about everything the papers ever wrote about us.  So in a day or so I’ll be hitting the ground running again with lots of new material. 

There is one thing some of you guys could do that would be a big help.  Help us find some of your old teammates who we are having trouble locating!!!  Here is a list of the guys we are looking for:  Wiley Jackson, Gantt, Greenberg, Fielder, Gabrielson,  Cal Frost, Ivan Moreno, Garrett Lee, Brian McBride, Damon Martin, Breckow, and Vic Ramirez.  Help….we need to find these guys…..

I actually FOUND Wiley Jackson.  I was looking in our scorebook from 1992 and all of the phone numbers for the players on our roster that season are written inside of it.  I took a stab and called his old house.  His mom picked up the phone.  Wiley just moved to New York City.  I left her my contact information to pass on to him but I haven’t heard from Wiley yet……….but we all KNOW ‘Ol Wiley will call.  So let’s go!  Anything you can do to try and track someone down will be helpful. 

Thanks to Workman and Turner for the pictures you sent in….and BullOxen for all the great comments.  And to all you sleezebags out there who are thinking about stealing all of the stories from this blog and making a movie out of it…..don’t even think about it…..BullOxen and Turner are already writing the screenplay as we speak!!!
