Did ya ever send out a fan letter or e-mail to someone famous, giving them thanks for doing something really-REALLY good?
What's really-REALLY good, you ask?
Well how about paying airfare and hotel bills for 17 US Marines, who are recovering from wounds, so they can see some major league baseball in Arizona?!
Well, I did. I sent an e-mail of thanks... just yesterday... after reading THIS on the milBlog BlackFive .
Had tears in my eyes when reading the post. I just had to e-mail this guy and thank him looong time. He is SF Giants pitcher Barry Zito. I received an e-mail from him, Barry Zito, last night.
I never expected a response...I just wanted to thank him. He is founder of an organization called "Strikeouts for Troops" . I am on cloud 9 and you can rest assured I will be watching "MY" San Francisco Giants and praying for a southpaw'd slinger named Barry Zito.
Barry Zito, the guy with the Giant's heart, will be easy to spot. He will be the angel on the mound. JG

Nice story. I hope the rest of the SF Giants' faithful will also cheer for Barry's work.
But this is SF...
That is fuckin' awesome, JihadGene!!
Makes me so proud to be a Giant's fan! What a really terrific guy.

You got me wrong on that Gene. I think it's great that Zito is doing this. I'm not soured on the Giants perse (at least as long as they arent' playing the Mets), but the city of SF.
Joated- I knew you was baggin' on the "City Of" SF. I just wanted to focus positively on "MY SF Giants" who I've loved looong time since the days of Willie Mays and Stretch McCovey. The city of SF is a cesspool these days unless you enjoy watching Bums fight, walking over Bums, watching Bums stop and direct traffic, or you like hurdling over human waste.
I emailed much later than you and I'm sure he's been inundated. LOL. I hope he's feeling the love because he's one hell of a guy.
Teresa- You know it! He is one great guy!!!
JG. I knew once Harry Callaghan left that place would go to shit.

As I am looking at your writing, 우리카지노 I regret being unable to do outdoor activities due to Corona 19, and I miss my old daily life. If you also miss the daily life of those days, would you please visit my site once? My site is a site where I post about photos and daily life when I was free.
