Well, we had 12 exciting new dinner meals, on the blogging front I started off strong but because of  other commitments I trailed off. So this year I will recommit myself to first blogging on a regular base and expand from their.

It is nice to see that two of the three players going into the Hall of Fame, will have nicknames on there plaques; Gregory Alan Maddux (Mad Dog or The Professor)  and Frank Edward Thomas (Big Hurt).
