You are so right, Jason. I've have put every bit as much effort in attracting the local players and the non-Giant players as I have the Giants. They pay just as much and are just as critical to the success of the tournament, perhaps moreso in certain respects. I've sent as many, or likely more, personal e-mails and made as many personal phone calls to non-Giants as I have to Giants -- I'd wager I've made more.

However, I hope you will also admit that people go to the game to see the DiMaggios and Gehrigs -- though the game couldn't go on without Johnny Blanchard behind the plate, Tom Tresh at shortstop, and Ryne Duren tossing the pellet; in addition to the entire lineup of the Kansas City athletics on the other side of the field. Fairly or not, the stars draw the crowds. I'm happy and grateful for each and every entrant. The fact that many of the Giants have chosen to attend may well attract others and make the event that much more significant for all -- and should challenge all others in attendance.

I hope you are not offended. It was certainly not the intent. I hope to make it a better event for all.
