Ever since the Phillies won the World Series, I can’t seem to get Bones out of my head, and the way he died. He was such a fan, and of course, so was I. He would have loved it. Bobby |

Perhaps he is up in heaven with an IPOD listening to the "Boys of Summer". |

Bones watched. They have super ultra high powered binoculars in heaven. Some people fall in love and touch the sky, some people fall in love and find quicksand. |

bittersweet memories are sometimes the best...sorry he missed the feeling that only comes with a World Series victory...grew up near St. Louis and we had our share when I was a kid (64, 67, and we were robbed in 68--at least that's how I remember it) |

Dear RDB, I don't know much about Australian Baseball. However, baseball is really a pretty simple game, so I would imagine the rules are the same. The Internet says that there is an Australian Baseball Federation. I'm sure that your nephew will enjoy the game. Love Bobby |

Thanks Steavenr, I remember those Cards from the sixties. They were a good team. The Soxs I don't remember much about, as the Phillies were of course in a diiferent league. Bobby |
