My Dad (who was a Travelers fan) is spinning at great velocity I'd imagine.

Otey the swamp opossum? Holy crap, is it an April fools joke?

Of Course Not. It's a symptom of what happens when a retired deranged umpire throws out the STL Cardinals and signs on with the 10-Man Softball League, with a California team nonetheless, and THEN makes the city build him a new ball park. Cardinals moved to Springfield, MO, where they are flourishing. Meanwhile, the Travelers are..........well, I have never been to a game since the Cards were tossed out.....and I won't go as long as Bill Valentine is alive or has anything to do with them.

Ironically, I just got a letter from them, actually addressed to my long dead uncle, about his ONE share of Arkansas Traveler Baseball Stock (worth nothing). If I had no principles, I'd try to get it reissued in my name. But I don't want anything to do with them.

Swamp Possums indeed. What a laughingstock.
