Thanks TRHit! I'm with you.

I agree TR - thanks to MNMom for taking responsibility of the site. This is an unusual place as there are many "caretakers" here. As a person who wanted the site to continue, I say a big thank you to all who were concerned, offered to help Bob, and now help MN. We get to stay here and the site gets to continue to help many others as it has me and my son.

Thanks again MN!

Thanks to Mn-Mom (Julie).....the new Grand Poobistress.

Be good,
David

Thanks to everone involved in keeping the site going. I don't post a whole lot, but I've got an '06 and a '12 and I've learned a lot on here, and am appreciative of everone sharing their knowledge and experience.

Also, I really can spell "everyone" despite evidence to the contrary.

"Yeah Baby" I am so glad it stays around, I would be lost with out it.

Big HOORAYS For MNMOM!!!!!

I support the decision 100%, I think MN-Mom is the perfect choice to continue this great site. We are willing to help at any time and in any way that we're needed.

I'm excited about what has taken place. Bob made a great choice and I think everyone should support MN-Mom as much as possible. I know we will!

Thanks to Bob, and to MNMOM for stepping up to the plate. And to everyone else who helped out along the way.

Julie....



I think you've got the message! THANK YOU!

I think that is great! She has the background and expertise. Way to go!

Thanks so much for the kind words and encouragement.

I am so happy that Bob has decided that this community should continue in the same place, with the same name, same people, same purpose and vision. When Bob told me that I would get the privilege of taking over management of the site, I was excited, but a little scared, too! I couldn't imagine trying to keep tabs on all of the activity around here and monitor all of the posts, without the help of the great moderators who have been watching over the site for several years. I plan to touch base with all of the moderators within the next week or so, and I hope you will all be willing to continue in your roles.

As I mentioned in our chat last night, my goal is to try to keep things very much the same as they are today. My hope is that long time members will watch the site over the coming months and not notice anything different. And I hope that new members or visitors will find the site and see that it is a community "by the people, for the people" - or maybe I should say, "by the parents, for the players".

This will always remain "the house that Bob built", and I hope that he has a little more time to post now that he won't need to worry about admin duties. Personally, I would love to hear more about his part-time scouting duties, and he'd better keep us up to date on the pro baseball career of his fine son! I do know that he has offered to help me with any questions or dilemmas that might come up, and I have his home phone number, so I feel a little more secure!

So, I wanted to say Thanks, Bob, for everything you've done for all of us, and thank you for trusting me with this responsibility. I hope I don't let you down!

P.S. Bob, didn't LeftyDad promise to put you in his will if you arranged for the site to continue here?

I'm happy for Bob. I'm happy for MN-Mom. I'm happy for TR, PG and all the others who helped make this happen. And I'm happy for the roughly 6,000 (I think that's right) registered members here, who have a place to go, good people to talk to and a way to continue honoring the pastime of our lives.

Pretty good day, huh?

MN-Mom,

TR,

Thanks for the offer of help, and you have a PM.

Thanks MN-Mom for taking over. I am so happy for you and I'm sure that it will also ease Bob's mind knowing that his baby is in good hands.

Although others have offered to start a new site...I have been holding my breath because...NOTHING can replace the original.

Let me know if I can help in any way.

MN-Mom,

Thank you very much! I am confident no one will be let down by this decision for you to manage the site. Please let me know if you need anything as well. Thanks as well to Bob, PG and TRhit along with any others who have worked behind the scenes to make this all happen. A fine weekend indeed!

Mn-Mom, Julie,
I echo everyone's sentiments!!
Big thank you to Bob for keeping the site.
Big congrats to you for "making the cut"!
Big thanks to TrHit, PG, & all others for their efforts in keeping hsbaseballweb as great as it is!!
Let me know if I can help out in anyway!.
Paula

Thanks, mom....

Julie,

I just read about your new endeavor and want to offer my congratulations. I know you'll do a great job...now when are you having all 6,000 of us over for dinner so we can thank you in person?

Ann

Ann,

Believe me, my very humble house could not hold 60 of us, never mind 6,000! Perhaps we will have to have a virtual barbecue some day instead!

Thank you to all for the kind words and good wishes!

PGStaff,

Thanks so much for your kind words and support, and for keeping folks informed of the site status on your website as well. It is much appreciated! And you have a PM.

MN-Mom,

Congrats and THANK YOU for taking over this site. I don't know where I would be without my daily fix of HSBB....

This site has provided me and others with so much information, insight and cyberfriendships that could never be replaced.....I know you will continue in the tradition in which it was established. That alone means more than you can imagine.

Thank you again for taking this over.....What Bob built for the community has been appreciated by many and now the site that Julie continues will be one in which we will always hold dear......because we all know how close we were to losing it.........................

MN-Mom, I have replied.

To all,

I never really wanted to be in charge of the site.

I don't even have the time to be a moderator, let alone be in charge.

We got the right person! I think everyone should be happy and support MN-Mom.

MN-Mom...

CONGRATULATIONS! No doubt your first class because you have the blessing and trust of the "Grand Pooh-Bah".

Mn-mom
Thanks to take over this responsability, I know that all the websters will cooperate with you to keep the goals, and the quality of this our second home. Thanks again.

MN-Mom...Congrats and thanks for taking on the site management. It has been very informative and entertaining for me as my son ('08) is in the "early stages".

ditto MN-Mom, any way I can be of help, just ask

MN-Mom -

You are one terrific person! Thanks for keeping this great site alive and on the right track.

Best,

URKMB,

Loopy Girdlebiscuits,

Now THAT is really a blast from the past, lol!
I have long since forgotten my nickname but I do remember how I laughed and laughed when that thread was going! Thanks for bringing it back up...it still makes me laugh.

Ann

MN-Mom,

I am delighted that you will be maintaining this site. This is too great a resource to go away.

I have communicated with you privately many times and Bob couldn't have found a better person than you.

Thank you so much.
R.

MN-MOM

You are AWESOME! Thank you so much for taking on this task!

I was a little nervous that when I got back from the World Series there would be no more hsbaseball.web. Imagine my thrill when I used my favorites bar and the site was still here.

Thank you so much Bob for creating this site, and thank you Julie for continue on with what Bob built. You will do a great job!!!!!

Congratulations and Thank You as well.
