    I know we touched on this awhile back. But, thought I would be a good time to bring it up again. We know that fuel will not be going back down. What do you see the effects as it relater to HS Season, Travel (AAU, USSSA other of the same), Showcase, Legion and rec or LL ball.

    $7.00/gallon

    by 2010 is what they're forecasting tonight, and 10 million less vehicles on the road - Detroit is gonna love that.

    Guess they're gonna need to add lanes to the highways for scooters and horses soon!

    I think you are going to see the American automobile industry start to raise heck over what is going on. Pretty soon foreign auto makers are going to put a lot of money into developing either alternative fuel cars or electric cars at a MUCH cheaper price than American auto makers OR they will develop a car that gets like 50 miles to the gallon. Then everyone will start buying those cars and the American auto makers will lose money.

    Next step would be to put a lot of pressure onto Congress and the president.

    At least this is what I think.

    Presidency

    We might get a better deal from "DUBYA". After all, he is a baseball guy (Texas Rangers) AND he needs something of a positive legacy. I say DUBYA should give an immediate $1000.00 tax credit to all baseball players 13 to 18 years old.
