Haggs sent me a text this week on how to get ahold of Fielder, Gantt, Jackson, and Lee.  I found Jackson on my own…I called the contact phone number I had for him back in 1992 (I wrote them in at the front of our Team scorebook)…….and his Mom picked up the phone!  Wiley’s in NYC and I’m sure will find a way to be at the bash. 

Then, TODAY I got home and checked the Blog and we heard from both Fielder and Gantt…AHHH!!!………They both made comments on the blog so I’m looking forward to getting in touch with them.  Oh, and by the way…Haggs told me they could all be found on Facebook.  Thanks Haggs…….

I haven’t found Garrett yet but it’s just a matter of time.  If any of you are in contact with him…send him the link to this Blog and advise him to comment….that way we will have his email address.

Alot of you are wondering why I am spending so much time ranting and raving about the 1990 Team.  That’s because those guys were the TRAILBLAZERS for this whole thing.  That Team played all 22 games on the road that season.  Those guys started most of the rivalries….and were the original players who introduced the 20th district to “How We Roll.”   Some of the greatest dogfights ever played went down with that Team.  I will never forget the effort those guys put forth…and I think most of you will get a kick out of hearing about the shit we did that year!  It was CLASSIC!!

I will try to move through our History chronologically.  I may jump ahead in some spots….but I want to give TOTAL PROPS to the 1990 squad!!  What they did that season shall NEVER be forgotten!! 

I have a lot to write, and I’m excited about writing it.  I keep a list with me now and when a story idea comes up I write it on that list so I don’t forget.  We have over 30 posts so far on the Blog here.  I looked at my list Today and counted…I have AT LEAST 80 more to write.  And I’m sure I will remember more as time goes on….

PLEASE make yourself available in case I need to INTERVIEW you about something.  We can do an interview by phone or email.  I plan on doing feature stories on every single guy who we are inviting to this reunion…..

Keep in mind that not all the guys who wore our uniform are WORTHY of The Reunion.  Just the True, Loyal Warriors of this Ballclub who bled Verdugo.  Hank, Weapon, BullOxen, General, and myself are the five-member “Review Board.”  We came up with an original list of who we want to invite and we will pretty much stick to that list.  We’re all excited…and when we do it…we will DO IT RIGHT….VERDUGO STYLE. 

Thanks again Haggs….

Hopefully more of you will make some comments on the Blog soon.  We are closing in on 1000 hits already!!!!!!!!!  What are you guys gonna do when this thing goes “viral?”
