Not Just D16 for Elliott

Just thought I would give more proof that Mark is about kids. His 12 year old baseball team moved into the Championship game of the Midwest Regional tournament in Dickinson, ND. They play today at 10AM for the Championship and represent the Midwest at the Cal Ripken World Series.
Let's all wish him good luck and give him something fun to read when he gets back!
My point is, Mark does a tremendous amount for the kids, not only in Bemidji but in the whole state. That is where his heart is. That is his only agenda. These fools at MH can say what they want, but the truth is irrefutable.
Go Northern Heat!! (Bemidji's team name which incidently, is the name of the book Mark wrote a few years back. Team was named after Mark's book came out:)

Go Northern Heat!!
This is not the only area Mark Elliott would make a good representative for the entire state of Minnesota
The young baseball players of Bemidji are very lucky to have such a coach. Hope to hear they are still going??

Look for it on ESPN 9...The Nueve. It was considered for The Ocho but that channel had already signed the Dodge Ball Near West Regional to a 50-year contract.

I got a blank white page saying, "article not found".
I don't think your getting your money's worth with a paper like that.

I just assumed it was Bemidji and hardly anyone knew how to read so they could get away with a blank page.
Actually I just got absorbed in the swap and trade section - it's old school ebay. I got my eye on a metal minnow bucket in exchange for a 63 Fairlane alternator
And by the way - indubitably and irrefutably we do need to be spoiled since we are the arrogant world sport leaders. We also prefer platinum to silver.

Hey where are the comics?
ok, I read the story - pretty ballsy move to attempt a pick-off play at third in such a close game. Bet the left fielder didn't see the sign to back -up the play up.
Great excitement for the kids!
Did you see the headlines for today - Ice is nearly out up there and Elvis Died!
