Take me out to the ballgame,
Take me out with the crowd,
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack,
I don't care if I never get back;
Let me root, root, root for the home team.
If they don't win, it's a shame,
For it's one, two, three strikes,
You're out, at the old ballgame.

Gail, not being an American, I have found it exceprionally difficult to understand baseball and its rules. Too many people tried to explain it, in vain. Anyway this is a fantastic picture, with great composition and brilliant graphical elements. Well done. Regards - Andreas #3115776Paula Dwyer August 25, 2006
