I'm sure it was cardiology - he's a DVM, but he conducted
cardiology research for over 10 years after graduating. He
worked at the Animal Medical Center for about 2 years.

apprecitate how much skill is involved because you have a
sense of scale. Every pop up looks like a rocket that will
surely reach the seats. You can see how hard it is throw
accurately from third to first because it is so far and at
the same time see how close the third baseman is to the
batter. Yankee Stadium is a great park to watch games. So
green, so much the feeling of summer no matter when you go.
The Oakland Coliseum _was a great park before Al Davis
brought his football team back from LA. They closed in the
bleachers - skyboxes all over the place and tighter seating.
Its still OK, but not nearly as good as it once was.
<<Random thought about the Bosox. People have talked about
how screwed up the players are on the team (the whole not
standing for GBA discussion). But from the perspective of a
Yankee fan, I think the real problem is is management,
specifically Dan Douquette (sp?). Jimmy

From what I've heard, that sounds about right.
Us Yankee fans are very worried about the A's. I am not
sure that even with our pitching we can handle them. Second
half of the year they have been the best team in baseball
hands down. The winner of this series is going all the way
in my opinion.
Well, Seattle's not too bad either...
