BPmax. Anyone that would drive 12 hours to see ANYTHING is a REAL fan. ....I used to play as a kid, just fool around stuff on the frozen lakes in NY. Never really got into it as a spectator though. I have a real problem with the "put on" fighting as a side show. I did used to go to some of the Whalers games when they were in Hartford and did enjoy some college games at Yale. ....Great Dbacks game tonight. I almost went and wish I did. ....Sure! If you want to go sometime and you're in The Big Oven as we call it here, let me know. ...Email me at my yahoo account: conyankee@yahoo.com and I'll send you my regular email address. This way I'll keep the spam down. They are always watching, you know. LOL...Joe
