Thanks to all for celebrating my 1000th post. On an occasion such as this, I am reminded of the Bud Light commercial where the guys sucks it up and determines himself to work until 2 minutes to 5 on a Friday afternoon -- then nearly passes out in his office as the clock ticks....

I too find it difficult to work until 5 -- and seldom do so on Tuesdays or Fridays. Smile

I made a brief internal commitment to accept John's challenge to wait until tomorrow night to post -- after Plano East versus Lewisville. But since I don't generally report on PantherSon Wink -- other than the times when he might warrant mention with the other guys on the team -- I decided to take this opportunity to bask in the glory of 1000 (mostly meaningless) contributions to the Texas Forum. That and....I was ready to pass out at my desk as you guys dog-pile Train. Ah, such a fine tradition.

If you've been here for a while, you too are mumbling to yourself..."doesn't everyone realize that the post-counts were reset sometime in 2004, thereby rendering this celebration even MORE meaningless????" Smile Yes, my post-count might actually rival BigHit's or Kellerdad's -- shhh, who's counting?!?!

Thoughts and memories....I remember when....

HSBBWEB was a place to sit back, kick off your shoes, and make fun of parents who never played the game....
Plano had 2 senior high schools...
Swingdoc was a coach, rather than a mythical hero...
Swami was a mythical hero, rather than a coach...
FormerObserver observed closer to home...
D9-5A was the place to be...
BigHit actually posted...
No one knew my name...
Moms prepared hot dogs for the kids....
DBAT was an acronym...
Mr Benoit screwed up...

Special thanks to Swingdoc, Melynda, DBAT, KD, indugu, and others that acknowledged this special moment.....and to those of you that had me laughing at my desk today as the anticipation grew. John, I'll still post tomorrow night. Smile

HS baseball and this site have become my favorite hobby. We would have to debate whether that is pathetic in another topic!

Go Panthers!
Go HHBBWEB!

ole

On to 2000......

I remember that too!

It was fun wasn't it?

...and miles to go before I sleep........
Congratulations PD. Even though we've never met, I feel like I've known you for years!! Keep up the great posting and I do know that we will meet this summer, if not sooner. I'm looking forward to our boys playing together some, even if it's not as much as we both would like. Wink

BTW...at the rate I've been going the last month, I'm going to catch up with you!! Is that bad or what??!!
PD congrats on post number 1000. I really get a kick out of reading your comments. You are the Andy Roney of the Baseball Web. I'm very happy also to have your family as part of the DBAT family. I have known you a while and you are in this for the right reason. When you post tomorrow I hope it's about East getting a, well I want mention the W word again.
