NFBC greats suchas Rick Thomas, Randy Barbour, and myself will be attending Ron Shandler's Fantasy Baseball Spring Training at the Martin library in York, PA this Saturday, Feb 7th.

If you are in the area, stop by. I might be giving away some valuable NFBC nuggets!

http://www.yorklibraries.org/Our_Librar ... seball.htm Wow, I guess baseball is right around the corner if Ron's Symposiums are starting already. Awesome. If Ron or Todd or Perry wants to, they can post Ron's schedule of events here. We recommend these live symposiums to all of our NFBC members who can attend them.

You boys behave and make RT buy a round of Corona's or two afterwards. Nice.

To clarify, this is not a First Pitch Forum event, but another annual event Ron always attends as an invited guest.

And since I will see him for 3 weekends on the FPF tour, at LABR and at Tout Wars, he has taken out a restraining order on me, prohibiting me from being with 200 miles of York, PA this weekend

Perry Van hook, I'm sorry Perry Van Pimp.

I remember Greg said give Ron Shandler a break about not attending the NFBC because he was on the road. . But than I saw Todd Zola is doing the same tour. Damn I don't know but I think they call that a double standard.

How do yo see it Perry?

You going to go?

Hey Guys

Where and what time in Saddlebrook? Going to try to make it depending on time. Could use the help as well. That Steak place on Rte 17 I heard is good. Isn't Mid-evil times down there as well.

Thanks for info

Marty:

Saddle Brook Forum is located right off the Garden State Parkway in the Upper 150's on Pehle Avenue.

Steve's Steaks in about 10 minutes South on Route 17. Very easy to get there and a few friends and I will be making it a point to visit after the forum.

Drop me a note if interested.

Drop me a note if interested. Kenny, you better be careful on these Message Boards. Some folks are going to think you like food more than baseball with all of these eating posts.

I know they're both in the Top 3 behind family, but baseball has to be No. 2, right??

Greg:

Family first, after that all bets are off. Although I kinda equate baseball/food spots together!
