Congrats, John! Got a dirt mound to throw off? I'm doing a little re-hab for a week (dislocated my ring finger and tweaked my rotator on a dive back to second on a pick-off attempt), but wouldn't mind throwing a couple bullpens before Hong Kong!
My Facility is getting there...probably a grand opening around the 25th of Feb.

Wazzup, John?

How's the new facility? My new "home" at Stroh's opens on or about Feb. 25. Hope all is well! Thanks for the new phone number, btw.

Hey John!!!!

Great to see you here! Nice to hear about NorthWest Sports Complex. I'll be running Stick and Ball Sports Training out of Stroh's in the Valley. Maybe we can refer appropriate students back and forth?
