Well, as I sit here in day 3 of my Jury Duty waiting to be called into the courtroom, I thought I might as well put up our final World Series Update of 2009. I know that many, and I mean many of our members are Yankee fans. I have noticed one thing about these Yankee fans in our facility that seems to be a constant in all of them….. you guys are Yankee die-hards! Serious fans, through and through!

So for all of our BATT Academy and Athletic Edge Yankee fans, CONGRATULATIONS on winning your 27th Fall Classic. For all you Yankee-haters, that seems to be the rest of us ; ) there’s always next year!

Now, we start the countdown to spring training!
