Hey Jerry--

What's an ACL in baseball terms? (I thought I was doing well to drop in RBI--I was even able to explain to Jan what that is, even though I know very little about baseball.) The thing I know most about baseball is Damn Yankees. I sure remember hapless Senators (I mean the baseball kind)--and it made perfect sense the Senators would have to have somebody sell his soul to the Devil for Washington to win a pennant. First in war, first in peace, and last in the American League--as I recall.

And the Devil had the best lines (as the old complaint goes) or at least the best song in that show: "Those Were the Good Old Days"

"Like the hopes that were dashed when the stock market crashed"
"Those were the good old days"

I used to have that one memorized--another good one to cut lawns by--like songs from Camelot, Music Man and lots of Gilbert and Sullivan.
