[Blindtlk] Blind Yankees fan honored at Tuesday's game

Thu Aug 19 16:30:34 UTC 2010

David the word dam was spelled D A M not Damn to which is the correct 
spelling in this area.  Damn Yankees was awesome I saw it a few years ago 
with Jerry Lewis as the part of the Devil.

The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend my services!
