Dear Tib,

I just finished reading this amazing story of yours and then only thing that comes in to mind is.. Well.. Wow!

Everything has been said by anyone else so I will try not to repeat them.

I come from a small European country called Denmark where the interest of baseball is none existent. Actually I hate reading in any other language than my native so even do I chosen English as my main subject in the Gymnasium (comparable to High School) I actually dislike reading it. Therefore you can take is a huge compliment that I actually enjoyed reading the whole story. You kinda made me realize a new site to ITP, where I’ve started to add another dimension in to game by writing about my character. It makes the game progress slower but it also makes me more interested in progressing further. Sadly I find it almost impossible to write a baseball story in Danish as we simply lack too many baseball terms and it sounds stupid to translate them into Danish or write the English word into a Danish text. Therefore I started writing in English which makes the language less smoothly and extends the writing time but the result thereby a lot better. Before I read your story I would never even consider doing such a thing.

I have no idea if you ever look into this story any more but if you do I would say a chapter each year would satisfy me and if you have put Dave to rest I would love if you told us what could have become of him.

Sadly mistakes happen when you write in a language that you don’t speak every day but please bear with me.
