USSSA BASEBALL NEVER FORGET

I wanted to saturate Schacht's car with those magnetic ribbons when we drove out to Boston, but we wussed out.

So far these are my favorites, aside from the 'UNITED WE STAND' ones that have "Made in China" printed at the bottom:

1) 'Autism Awareness'. Not because of the cause, but because the ribbon was a bunch of puzzle pieces. For fuck's sake...

2) 'Iowa Hawkeyes'. I suppose it's in memory of their football team having any chance at a national championship, am I right? HahahaHA! Uh, anyway...

And I now have a #3, which I saw on the back of an SUV driving home from downtown. At first, all I could see was that it was white with red print, so I thought it was the inevitable Cornhusker ribbon. Upon closer examination, it said "BASEBALL" and "USSSA LEAGUE". Maybe somebody died or something. I just don't get it anymore.

That said, I just can't wait until 2027 when those rubber wristbands make a comeback.

Hey man. Maybe you should stop being so anti-American and start Supporting Our Troops a little more.

Have I forgotten how it felt that day?

To see my homeland under fire and her people blown away?

Thank you, Darryl Worely
