If you've dealt with Jake, or just have thoughts on his potential membership, please leave whatever comments you may have on the application. For those who may be new, here's how to see the application & leave a comment: 1) go to oldbaseball.com 2) Click on the "Directory" button on the left side of the page 3) Click the link for "View New OBC applications" 4) Choose your name from the drop-down menu & then enter your password 5) Click on the tab next to Jake's name Once you're on the page, type in any comments you may have on the window that's next to OBC Enter Comments, then click the OBC Enter comments button. IN the past some guys have sent their comments directly to me, but it's much more convenient if you do it yourself.

A couple recent emails have highlighted a few email rules we need to abide by: 1) For those that are in other groups, that's great...spread the wealth! However, keep your OBC Thanks to OBCers...otherwise it looks like the mass mailings I get to refinance my mortgage and confuses everyone as to who is who! 2) For guys with emails that aren't obvious, please put your name at the bottom. I don't expect you all to know I went to the University of Illinois! 3) For goodness sake, exercise your right to vote...a lot of folks gave their life so you could. Just don't talk about it here. If there is one issue that will alienate folks, that's it! Take Care, U of Illinois, Class of 1990 (in case you were wondering) Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T
