Hello,
On a good note, did anybody recognize the local DC-Metro talented NY Met's RHP pitch and his 5+ shutout innings "W" tonight? Is this great!
On other notes, a friend of baseball, {and who saw the thread in question} phoned me and Bear about it.
The thread is easy for me to understand.
1. $500 for each player at a PG Showcase for two games at Univ of Maryland in October 2006 is excessive.
2. The thread in question is not slanderous
(as alleged), yet direct.
I have supported VA Tournament in Woodbridge since the early 1990's. My event collects $95 per player, 18-20 players per team, each team plays three games. I recognize several names within this thread. As a business woman, I am familiar with the term 'Cash Cow'. Mr. Ford has over-reacted, or simply does not understand the business term.
Mr. Tom Rizzi is very familiar with Sal C and the VA event. Conn Select attended in years past, yet following Mr. Rizzi interesting demeanor with Sal C, it was decided not to ask him nor the Conn Select back. First time in 15+ years that has happened. I recall Bear speaking on the Conn Select behalf, when hearing about this. Sal C stood firm.
The other responders have every right to offer their opinion. But this ageless baseball man is a territory leader, exchanges timely and accurate information with the HS's, scouts and college coaches, and is passionate about supporting our youth, and teenagers baseball careers.
Sincerely in baseball
BG

BRENDA Are you talking about the event a few years back when we refused to put our team on the road because your state was under a state of emergency due to a hurricane ? - The safety of our players and family is more important than a baseball game(s)-- "interesting demeanor" ??? lives and safety come first--- I made a judgement call and your people didn't agree with it ---so be it--it was my call and I would make the same call again --WITHOUT HESITATION~~~~

Brenda, With all due respect, to compare your event to a PG event is like comparing apples and oranges. Your event and the time you and the other volunteers put in is commendable, and I am not going to question your altruistic intentions but in all honesty your $95.00 per team member is probably one of the more expensive team events for the value that you receive in regards to exposure. The work you have done in the name of your husband and his memory is beyond reproach. I would actually suggest that you attend a PG event and see how the evaluating and showcasing has changed over the years. In fact based on what others have posted about Jerry from PG...he probably would welcome you at the event. quote: Originally posted by BrendaGar:

MN-Mom, It never is with this guy. Believe me. I remember his "stuff" about the baseball moms on this site a year or two ago. He should have been thrown off the site IMO. Ignorant and insulting. I remember his stuff about TRHit. Completely unfair and born out of ego and jealousy. I am now aware of his latest stuff about PG and Jerry. A disgrace - you were right to wipe that delusional garbage out of here IMO. And I will never forget his stuff about my eldest son. He is a hack. Plain and simple. IMO.
You spend a good piece of your life gripping a baseball, and in the end it turns out that it was the other way around all the time. ~Jim Bouton, Ball Four, 1970
