I first set foot on a ball diamond as a player in 1958. I have played at the very highest levels(60's Oshawa Tony's and Oshawa Scugog Cleaners) and have participated at it's lowest level(2011 CCFL). Nothing in all of that experience could have prepared me for the breath-taking arrogance I have been witness to in the past week. I CAN tell you that if a team manager had attempted such a power grab in Oshawa fastball, he would have had to have a talk with either Moe Bryan or Phil Solomon behind the Genosha hotel. You don't want to meet Moe Bryan when he is angry (as I can bear witness to). Phil and his brother Bob were gentle souls who wouldn't hesitate to have a little talk with the manager either when it came to the very integrity of the game they(and I) love. So, I wish I could leave all of you with wishes of luck and a good season. I just can't now, given what I have seen what happens when one person incites a pack of selfish broads to bring such shame to the game.
