If you are having trouble deciding, please send a self-addressed stamped envelope (or shoebox) to the following 9 addresses. Please allow two weeks for processing.

After 18 seasons wearing the NewHorizons red and white uniform, Bob Taylor is 'retiring' from the Thompson Seniors' Slow-Pitch league. Last month, he turned 86 just after the league's season wrapped up. There are still some tournament games going on, and Taylor shows up to provide advice or just be a mascot. But his time on the diamond is done. "I can run, but it's so slow, it's almost a fast walk," he said. "I'm still fairly healthy, but everything slows up." As he talked, his teammates made cheerful comments and insisted he join them in the handshake lineup after they defeated the Dodgers Wednesday afternoon at Charles Anderson Stadium.
