"In The Mail" Sat 9/6/03

Another week and a few to report. We had a great week with a few exceptions.
A couple of great in person opportunities with some trips to the minor league
game in the area and some in the mail as well. Only drawback was the amount of
return to senders this week.

But anyway a quick list of those in persons we were able to get. These are all
baseball.

From the Nashua Pride:

Joe Kilburg Bill Twoomey
Ryan Van Horn Enrique Ramirez
Butch Hobson Melvin Nieves
Bubba Hardwick Ronnie Branin
Rusty Meacham Chop Pough
Carlos Chantres Chris Peterson
John Roper Curtis Pride
Kevin McGlinchy Damian Saap
D.J. Boston Glenn Murray
Pat Howell Ned Darly
Rick Wise Bob Caswell
Paxton Crawford

Those above are on "Team Balls" that we are trying to put together for my son.
He is a batboy for the Pride and a couple of balls with all the players
autographs will make a great souvenier. Only 6 to go!!

From the Long Island Ducks we also got:

Tim Burton Kevin Sheredy
Tom Caputo Don McCormack
Dave Lapointe Wady Almonte
Brad Whitworth Gustavo Escabar
Chris Koslowski Derrick Gibson
Kimera Bartee Rusty McNamara
Jon Cannin Rich Kelley
Elvis Pena Bryan Rekar
Denny Harriger Greg Mix
Luis Andujar Sandy DeLeon
Luis Saturria Bobby Rodgers

But then the return to senders and again, if anyone has any ideas on these
