Can we get rid of the snowflakes on the home page? It's almost June now.

I thought they were there all year round for we northerners

I hate the snow. And no we Canadians don't live in igloos. Our winters are freezing, but our summers are probably hotter than a lot of states maybe even down south. Currently speaking it's 85F. And hockey season is almost done and so should the snowflakes. I also work in a meat factory and it's so cold I get home with a runny nose.
That's why i wish I grew up in California. It's nice all year round, I could go see Bonds play cuase he'll never be at the SkyDome. And you can play ball there all year round too.

Heavens!! Most state HS tournaments are in the books!! We've hit 90 degrees here in TN a couple of times!! Melt the snowflakes!!!

If I have to see them, I'd rather see them in the summer where they at least look refreshing.

To get rid of them, the webmaster would need to take about 30 seconds to delete them or comment them out.

Those don't show as snowflakes on my computer, they show as baseballs. Are you sure you don't need glasses?

I've been using this site for a good while now and understand the vast amount of useful info present ...but a "novice" visitor might get the impression that this site is not "up-to-date" when the first thing they see is snowflakes in the middle of June, am I not correct?

I am glad someone brought this topic up. I contributed (very gladly) what I considered to be a fair amount of money to upkeeping this site ($100.00)when the call came out to help support a site we all enjoy. I then took an extended sabbatical from this site, and when I returned(April) I was perplexed by the continuing presence of the snowflakes. Frankly, it really irked me. However, I did not inquire, because I figured regular visitors would have already voiced their complaints and addressed the issue. Gee, it's June and the snowflakes are finally now gone? The Webmaster lives in TN, for pete's sake.

Oops! The creepy 4th of July snow flakes are still there!! Why?

At the end of the day, does it really and truly matter and, thurber, we don't need to know how much you contributed !!!!

Actually, I find the snowflakes quite refreshing, especially when it's 95 outside with high humidity as it was here today!

I say keep the snowflakes as a "cool" refresher for us suffering in the spring (actually feels like summer already) heat.

I say get rid of the flakes. It reminds me of winter, and in Canada-brrrrr.

I was told that there is no summer in Canada !!!!

It's always summer in Mississippi.
But the snowflakes can go anytime.

And that's why Montreal has a baseball team! No they aren't moving out cuase it's too cold.
We also have skyscrapers, suburbs with side-splits, bungalows, apartments, condos, s****r fields, baskebtall courts, tennis courts, and baseball fields, as a matter of fact I played on one last night and it happened to be boiling, I got bit by mosquitos, and slept with my window open.
So no we don't live in igloos.

Sorry, I just had to......

Does anyone else here feel that we are perhaps being ignored? . Wouldn't it be nice if those snowflakes could turn into suns, or baseballs, or SOMETHING else for a change? Or is Christmas coming early this year???

Hmmmm---a little snow might feel refreshing right now (I said a LITTLE!!!). It's hot as Hades here.... But, yes, I do believe we are being ignored.

At the end of the day...not many things really, truly matter. Taking that into account, many on this site are constantly reminded of first impressions...and if you are to be taken seriously in the least on a baseball site(thinking from a first time visitor point of view), having snowflakes on the opening page is just downright GOOFY!

What is the big deal about snowflakes. All you have to do is click into the forums and they are gone. Everyone sounds like whinny little children. Grow up and leave Bob alone. He is busy with important stuff like baseball!!!
