oops, meant to put a ? at the end of my inquiry re Brooks. Brooks was really a helluva guy. I think he played ball for the California (now Los Angeles) Angels farm-system after graduating from Santa Clara and pitching for the Broncos. He probably came up with Jim Edmonds. That's life for ya, two guys start out in the minors, one guy ends up a World Series Champ and likely future hall of famer, the other guy ends up caught in Group 23 hell and ground zero of where Failingenterprise.com came to be.

Ah well, count your blessings.
