Let me know what you think of the Eagle.

BaseballDad1228,

Ten - Four

Very much appreciated. Your the greatest, I could easily end up being a Wake Forest fan.

Anxiously awaiting the arrival... I'll let you know when the eagle has landed and if it is satisfactory.

How is it that you can guarantee anything involving the US Postal Service?

Thanks,

Over & Out!

From NASA...proceed with caution. Mission almost complete.

BTW, the "eagle" used to have dinner at my house. Check out the eagle's latest book for the reference (p. 590). Decipher that!

I figure you could tell me what is going on here...

...But then you'd have to kill me.

so....

Nevermind.

Where's mine and observer's eagle...We want one too!!! Guess will have to settle for this one OB44>Besides...That "other" Eagle is prolly still flying too....

Shep:

You better get a tailwind for that bird of yours...I've been checking on his progress for the past 10 or 15 minutes and he hasn't moved a lick.

Here ya go>TAZ can create that tailwind for the Eagle before he lands

Here's another one in case that one doesn't work>I just want to see it Just found them!!LOL

Yup...the first one will do alright!

The second one looks as though he has either a vapor lock or he really has to go!

To all on this thread:

Your attempts to thwart or assist the Eagle on its mission have been registered and advanced to our intelligence department. If you hear clicking on your telephones or believe you are being followed by black sedans or, in some cases, helicopters over the next 007 hours, officially it has nothing to do with the Eagle Delivery Project.

I bet you all read that part too.

The Postmaster General's delegate informs me that the Eagle landed in Cedar Rapids at 8:39 a.m. EST. I'm hoping that the producer has review the produced's action portraits and they meet with his approval in the uniform of the before missing career franchise.

Mike,

I did get the package. I can't thnk you enough. I owe you a lot!

For those of you who are confused. Here's the story.

A while back I was talking to Mike (BaseballDad1228) about his son. He asked me how my son Ben was doing. I told him he is not coming back very fast from another arm injury. That maybe he might have to hang it up!

Mike sent me some photos via email of Ben when he was with the Brewers. I told Mike that I had pictures of Ben when he pitched in the Major Leagues with the Diamondbacks and the Brewers, but none when he pitched for the Yankees.

Now that his career might be over a picture of him pitching for the Yankees became more important to me.

Long story short, I had forgotten about it when Mike called me and said he has some pictures and would send them to me. I got them today. I can't possibly thank Mike enough. It's another example of what makes the HSBBW the greatest site in baseball. There are a lot of great people who spend time right here!

Thanks again Mike,

Here's one of the pictures.

Nothing like sitting back and watching a couple grown men pretend they're secret agent commandos to make a guy smile. And thanks to this last comment, I now have Diet Pepsi spots all over my keyboard and monitor!

Jerry had to be the only father in America whose son pitched in the Major Leagues for the NEW YORK YANKEES and did not have a picture of him in the greatest uniform known to mankind. Fortunately I have a friend who works for the Daily News sports department in NY and he found shots of Ben while he was pitching for the Bronx Bombers.

You all know what Jerry means to baseball and to thousands of kids and families out there. He knows that I know all he did for my son. I am thrilled that I was able to give something special to a person who gives so much to so many, year after year.

Over and out...

I started reading this thread because I was curious (well, ok - nosey!). Continued to read because it was so amusing! Now, it's just plain thoughtful and sweet stuff! You're right, Jerry - this is one great place!!!

Very nice of you dad!

.

Love this...

This is the baseball version of the....

...Ahhhhh...story,

the kind that brings tears to the eyes of baseball fans everywhere!

PG...Sorry to hear that....but what a great picture and great memories!

1228..A HSBBW GOLD STAR for making this thing happen...

Very, very cool.

So glad NASA could help with this.

I knew there was some reason why I liked the guy.

Did I mention that, thankfully, Ben looks very much like his mother?

Great picture...no vapor lock action on that kid!

If ever a story or thread qualified as "Golden", this is it. Golden memories, golden friends, it's all "Pure gold".

I laughed out loud for a long time as I read this thread. After a few hours I returned, and the laughter turned to tears...

Wow. What a mission. A pure golden mission.

Those wouldn't happen to be of the black, silent variety, would they?

And Jerry.....NO picture of the kid in pinstripes???? That's almost like saying he never really played at all.

Beezer, this will teach you a lesson not to get in the middle of a game being played above your head. If you cannot see or hear the helicopters, then they are most definitely following you. Time to change your name and stop using credit and MAC cards. Too easy to trace. Good luck getting onto an airplane too. You've brought on all of this yourself.

It's not the helicopters that bother me, because like you said, I can't really see or hear them, but I am starting to get concerned about the guy in the black Suburban wearing a dark suit, sporting Aviators and constantly following me everywhere while talking to his wrist. It's nice that the mailman has already opened all my mail for me all of a sudden. But the clicking phone is getting a tad bit annoying. Ehhh....probably just some freaky coincidence....ummm....right bbdad????

Funny you should mention all of this just now...

No more than a half hour ago I was driving to the local high school to pick up my two daughters from a volleyball camp here in west suburban Chicago.

As I was waiting for the light to change so I could cross a busy thoroughfare, I noticed the little emergency light next to the traffic light had come on...it wasn't flashing so I knew the emergency vehicle(s) would be crossing in front.

Sure enough I heard the faint sounds of sirens in the distance...soon they passed in front of me...and they were in a hurry to get somewhere fast!

The two identical vehicles were certainly very similar to the one's you were joking about Beez ...here's a description of them...

Both were big, black, full sized, spanking new Ford Expeditions...without any markings whatsoever.

Each had multiple hidden lights totally concealed inside the rig...not noticeable when they were not in use.

The trailing one had one of the rear side tinted windows lowered 3 or 4 inches revealing either bars or some sort of armor plating inside...it was hard to determine since they flew by so quickly.

I have no idea which agency they belonged to and no clue as to where they were going in such a hurry.

One thing is certain...they were not escorted overhead by any aircraft of any type or color!

WOOD>>>This is just too ironic!! I saw them too! The only difference was some gray hair fellow with a southern accent was hanging out the window of the front vehicle singing GO BAMA!!! ROLL ON TIDE!!! Over and over!!!! There were a line of other vehicles behind the two FORDS with beautiful ladies and moms yelling and screaming for some fellow...they were saying he's PERFECT he's in the GAME he IS THE BEST Roll on BROTHERS
