taking a break

I've been doing this site for a number of years and, lately, baseball just isn't holding my interest the way that it once did.  I'm busy at the moment working my way through school and I've decided that now is the time to take a break from the site.

My payment to the host is due on Dec. 1, and sometime between now and then, I will be making a decision as to whether I wish to continue this site.

CECIL TRAVIS

During WWII, Duty Called for All-Star

Cecil Travis, a shortstop whose career was interrupted by service in World War II, died on Dec. 16, 2006, in Fayetteville, N.C.

Travis hit .314 in 12 seasons in the major leagues. His career totals included 27 home runs, 657 RBI and 23 stolen bases. He was an All-Star in 1938, 1940 and 1941. Duty called, however, during World War II and like many players, Travis walked away from the game. He spent four years in the army and, during a mission to France, suffered severe frostbite on his toes.

Questions and Answers

A couple of years ago, the site was receiving so many different questions and requests for information that I launched a "Question and Answer" page. 

I've decided to relink this page to site. From time to time, I may add questions to the page.
