Matt made an excellent speech, which was both reverent and humorous (believe it or not). He had a few of us in the back row very near tears when he spoke of his mother.

I hope that you shall find both of these as interesting as I have. You can expect to see the first one before this weekend.

Farewell to the House That Ruth Built from an old Yankee fan. It is hard to see a place torn down that was home to 26 World Championship teams. I imagine that we'll just start winning more Championships across the street next year.
