Charlie,
Just a note from someone who found your "speech" very interesting, and
your point well-taken. You make a very good case for learning more about
groupings, and have inspiried this half-baked birder to hit the books at
least as often as he hits the field.
Thanks for sharing.
(Sorry your team missed another chance last night. They did a great job
just the same, and I'll always remember Martinez's pitching. Awesome!)
