Congratulations, Billy Werber. When you turn 100 you can gripe all day about modern ballplayers.
Bob Feller: 90 down, 10 to go.

My attention has been pulled in a number of other directions lately and, despite having some time for Baseball Fever, I have to prioritize how that time is spent. I've decided that the best use of my allotted time is to work on other projects; projects that aren't time consuming and duplicative of others' (better) efforts. The low participation rate of the project has been disappointing and I don't want "yet another project", particularly one that doesn't appear to be accomplishing much that hasn't been done better elsewhere. My apologies to those who were enjoying this. I hope my future contributions to the forum will prove worth the discontinuation of this one.

A very big 'thank you' to all of you who participated in this project at any time in the past.
