    I don’t care about water or talking to voters.  I don’t.
    But I deeply care about this fucking cancer in our society of the left making literally everything racist.
    ”Republicans want to suppress the black vote and they hate you and they want you to choose between voting and staving to death.”
    Lies.
    It. Is. Evil.
    What the left is really petrified of is minorities discovering just how many conservatives actually view them by their character and not the color of their skin.
    The left just cannot allow that to happen.

    You honestly should be embarrassed by repeating this lie about water.  It just reveals you get your news from liars.  It’s a lie.  If you really care about the issue you can easily find the truth.
    Water will be provided by the polling station not from ransoms trying talk to people in line.

    A perfectly written law designed to have the highest legal voter participation and no fraud would’ve called racist.
    For God’s sake be honest.

    It's racist to the core to assume that Black and Brown Americans don't have the wherewithal to obtain a free ID so that they can vote. Most everyone including Democrats were in favor of voter ID in elections. Conveniently now they're not and claiming it's voter suppression. I'm ashamed of MLB's decision to move the All Star Game out of Atlanta. In conclusion, they robbed Atlanta of millions in revenue over political pandering.

    MLB "woke" up stupid today.
    In 2015, Delta Airlines purchased a 3.55 percent stake in China Eastern Airlines for $450 million. At the time, Delta described the relationship with China Eastern as “long-standing” and an “already effective partnership.” To be clear, that partnership, which continues to this day is with the Chinese Government itself, which owns a majority (62 percent) of China Eastern stock. 
    While you are certainly free to opine on domestic political issues, it is the height of hypocrisy to claim Georgia’s revised election law is “unacceptable and does not match Delta’s values” while you continue to partner with a government that is actively engaged in genocide. 
    Far too many multinational corporations are too eager to make their voices heard on the woke issues of the day in the United States, but remain stunningly silent, or in Delta’s case, complicit, in real, ongoing atrocities in countries like China. One can only conclude that you believe standing up to the Chinese Communist Party would be bad for Delta’s business in China.
    If you are sincere about standing up for “Delta’s values” you will speak out against the Chinese Communist Party’s genocide and immediately unravel your business relationship with the genocidal regime. If not, it will be clear that your Wednesday letter to employees was little more than a cynical attempt to protect your domestic business interests, the very definition of woke corporate hypocrisy.
    Sincerely,

    I heard back from @ten ocho recon scout. I was partially correct.
    He's good, just working out and staying away from all the craziness online as you can imagine during this current climate of hate against cops. 
    He'll be back soon! He's super stoked baseball is coming back soon. 
    Be kind to those in law enforcement, they're really taking a beating these days in more ways than one.

    Hopefully I don't jack this up...I now know how to quote/respond to someone and will attempt to add a picture. 
    You had me at 'it is a nice design.' Mission accomplished. Cool design on a nice garment that tells the story...that's pretty much it. We're not trying to coin nicknames or anything like that, we have enough on our plate. Let me give you an example...Lou Gehrig's nickname wasn't the 'No. 4 Train' (it was 'The Iron Horse') but for us, he wore the number, he played every day (2130) and in this particular case, the 4 train is the one that drops at Yankee Stadium...there's our story.

    I don't know that I've ever used 'Millville Meteor' when talking about Mike on a broadcast (although I now have incentive to push our line 😂), I just know about it and because of my love for the history of the game and think it's cool because it's a little like Mantle's 'Commerce Comet.' I appreciate you and your feedback, it's the only way to understand the masses. It also gives me a chance to speak about what it is we do in general and that's why I truly wanted to respond (can't believe I had to fill out a new account, must've been dropped by Chuck for non-use). 
    Thanks again.

    Chuck & AW...thank you for the post and the love, the family appreciates it. I saw one comment on here that called the graphic contrived...appreciate the honesty. I invite you all to check out the site and see what we're actually about. But maybe you're too busy to click on Big Fly Gear because of work or whatever and that's cool, so I'll explain what it is we do. 
    We're storytellers. We take a person, moment and/or place in baseball history revolving around the home run and we create a one-of-a-kind piece of art that tells the story for us. Our art is slanted towards the vintage look and feel of yesteryear...colors, fonts, designs, etc. We take our time researching the topic/individual and decide how we're going to convey the story. To date, we've created graphics to honor Babe, Ruth, Lou Gehrig & Hank Aaron, Kirk Gibson's HR in the World Series, the Negro Leagues, Bobby Thomson's 'Shot Heard 'Round the World', Japanese home run hitters such as Oh and Matsui as well as Latino home run hitters like Cepeda just to name a few. Each product on our site has an accompanying 'story' that explains the tribute. It's what makes us different. Millville Meteor is our tribute to Mike Trout. Anyone can get a shirt with a player's name and number on it, they're dime a dozen. Ours are unique to us and in this particular case, it speaks to the individual, his mystique and where he's from. Our hope is the person wearing one of our garments is asked about the graphic they are sporting, this way they can share the 'story' with someone new. In addition to our art, our garments are top notch and incredibly soft.
    So that's our elevator pitch on a message board (I think it's under :60). It's cool if you don't like what we're doing, no sweat for us. We just keep chugging along...we're now one year in and hope we're building something that's unique & fun as well as prosperous while showcasing our love for the game of baseball (both today and yesteryear). At worst, we've allowed our kids to experience what it's like to start a business as an entrepreneur from concept through to day to day operations (which for us, is probably the very coolest thing).
    All that said, I'm ready for some Angels baseball in just over a month. Looking forward to the 2020 season and seeing what this team has in store for us. Again, thank you for the support and love over 10 years, AW family. It means a lot to our family.
    Deuces ✌🏼

    When he relapsed he went first to his agent and legal team to make sure he could find a way to not be accountable. People doing actual jobs would have lost their job and probably their house left to a long arduous journey back to normalcy. Josh walked away with 125 million dollars....he could have donated some of his salary towards drug addiction programs while he was not actually earning it to demonstrate some awareness. But no......
    My role model was Lyman Bostock.  I miss athletes like him.

    I watched his interview with Mota, too, and was open-jawed when he said Card fans were more knowledgeable about baseball than Angel fans.
    Angels fans have unfortunately  learned what being the        " league leader in double plays" means.
    Maybe if we were treated to at least a few play-offs or god forbid, WS games, we'd be more engaged.
