One of my favorite closers of all time is Kent Tekulve from the Pirates. Kent didn't really look the part of intimidating closer with his rail thin frame and dark sunglasses pitching the ball submarine style but he got the job done. He was an integral part of the We Are Family Pirates of 1979 (my favorite team of all time). The submarine style was perfectly suited for him as it would not have been nearly as effective if he had been a starter. Think of facing one of the Pirates overhand starters of the era like Bert Blyleven or Jim Bibby for 8 innings then having to try to pick up a ball thrown from someone's ankles; 184 career saves proves how effective he was.

It's so nice for me to have found this blog of yours, it's so interesting. I sure hope and wish that you take courage enough to pay me a visit in my PALAVROSSAVRVS REX!, and plus get some surprise. My blog is also so cool! Don't think for a minute that my invitation is spam and I'm a spammer. I'm only searching for a public that may like or love what I write.
Feel free off course to comment as you wish and remember: don't take it wrong, don't think that this visitation I make is a matter of more audiences for my own blogg. No. It's a matter of making universal, realy universal, all this question of bloggs, all the essential causes that bring us all together by visiting and loving one another.
You must not feel obliged to come and visit me. An invitation is not an intimation. Also know that if you click on one of my ads I'm promised to earn 8 cents for that: I would feel happy if you did click it, but once again you're totaly free to do what ever you want. I, for instance, choose immediatly to click on one of your ads. To do so or not, that's the whole beauty of it all.
I think it's to UNITE MANKIND that we became bloggers! Don't see language as an obstacle but as a challenge (though you can use the translater BabelFish at the bottom of my page!) and think for a minute if I and the rest of the world are not expecting something like a broad cumplicity. Remenber that pictures talk also. Open your heart and come along!!!!!
