Hey Tad,
I just wanted to Thank You once again for kindness and the opportunity to be your guest the other day. I know my mom (Betty) is looking down with a smile and I’m sure she is your biggest fan right now.
Thanks again,

Hey Tad,
I had a few people inform me that they really enjoyed your show yesterday. They also said our segment went very well. Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to listen as we were getting ready to face the Mets. Is the show in archives yet? Is it the week 17 segment? Once again Tad, thanks and keep the Sandlot rollin’…..

Hey Tad,
Tough show for you last night with the audio problems. Nice interview with Ed Kranepool. He could hit and I am told he was really a favorite of Casey Stengal. I have been listening to some of your archived shows while doing work. Listening to your interview with Tim Worrell brought back great memories for me. Tim was on my semi-pro team in CA. I was the catcher on that team. We always visit when he comes to Denver. We had a tremendous team and actually did not lose a game for about 3 years. On that team were: Tim, Jerry Reuss, Matt Young (pretty fair staff huh?) Also on the team were: Mariano Duncan, Rene Gonzalez, Steve Jelts, Derrell Thomas, Rudy Law, and Mark Smith. We played and beat National teams from Australia, and Nicaragua. We also played Taiwan but lost 2-1 with Reuss on the mound. I also had the pleasure of catching Reuss when he threw a 1 hitter. After the game, Ed Roebuck (Pirates) signed him and as you probably know, went on to be one of the few guys to play in 4 decades.
Take care,
