The announcement that addy has retired may mean little to some
but, to me, it is a real sad day and the end of an era. 20 years
ago Glen Verge asked me who I thought Owen Sond should take
to ISC world  tourrnamet  as a pickup and replied " that young
Smith from the Burlington team " and they did. For me ,he could
do it all. A brillant 2nd baseman, a great clutch hitter, and
a leader who could get the
big hit when needed whether as a member with the Toronto Gators
in the 90's or those great years with Terry Baytor and team Canada.

Last year at the ISC in Kitchener I sat down to watch Jarvis
play and out walked Clark Statts to 2nd base and their was Adam
sitting on the bench. Yes, it was disturbing, Chris Jones, Brian
Patton,
Ray Tilley played until they retired so, where was the justice.

Many of us who have been around the balllpark forever thank you
for the memories. "ADDY"
