The Official Allie T response to Artie's retirement: Artie, I will be really sad to not see you patrol Left field for us. The only mistake you ever made was playing RF in the first game with us and not telling us to put you in LF until the game was over. It was a tremendous run we all had for Forrester's and now judging by the color scheme of us this website I know exactly who our sponsor will be next year. I hope we can get you for a couple of games as a replacement or spectator. We will only accept your retirement if you follow the conditions listed: a) Artie cannot be on any Friday night roster except for our team. b) He cannot start his own Forrester's team unless it is in the over 40 league and C) if he does come out of retirement, his next retirement speech will not be via blog, BUT at a mic stand at City Park. One thing I have in common with my Uncle is that you are the best outfielder I've played with, so I can only imagine what you were like in your "prime." Good luck in the over 40 league and remember I'm 35 and I'll be the first Forrester's teammate eligible. On a more personal note, thanks for the chat you had with Shira we will all have to gather at some point for a drink or few Be well, Allie
