We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service.

[> Subject: Re: Former Princeton Star Will Venable to manage White Sox Author: joiseyfan [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:49:53 10/31/24 Thu As a lifelong fan of the Sox and Tiger Basketball, it’s hard to know whether to cheer or break down in tears. So I will. Of course, the wisdom of Moe Berg ‘1923 — who spent five luxurious years on the South Side at the old Comiskey Park — can always be of help. “Perhaps I could not hit like Babe Ruth, but I spoke more languages than he did.” [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
