Hi Mal, how is the New Year treating you and Catherine? Fine I hope. I'm getting excited about the baseball season just around the corner. Talking about baseball, I was surprised like most of the baseball world that your Nationals gave up so much for Eaton. He is a very nice player as his stats and WAR numbers point out. I have watched him play numerous times and he is a much better right fielder than he is a center fielder. He may be the best right fielder in the Majors. He has the arm for center, and the speed. He seems to get a late start on any balls hit over his head. I hope that is correctable. Your team looks lock solid except for a proven closer. You'll need one before the season ends unless you can develop someone from within your organization.

I was thinking about you yesterday when the WORLD CHAMPION CUBS visited the White House. I thought you would have tried to sneak in somehow, or got close to the White House to see your Cubbies.

Take care Mal, I just wanted to say hi.

Your Old St. Anthony Buddy
