From the Episcopal Café:
As a part of opening week festivities, Commissioner of Baseball Bud Selig and Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori announced today that the Episcopal Church has been designated the Official Denomination of Major League Baseball. The move was announced today in a teleconference with reporters.
"Faith oriented promotions have increasingly become a part of many minor league team," Selig said. "We felt that it was time to tap into this important demographic."
....
Selig said that Episcopalians bring the right mix of arcane tradition, an appreciation of minutiae and a tolerance for long stretches of relative inaction that make them "a good fit for us."
"We believe that Episcopalians understand the nuances of the game and won't meddle with our traditions too much."
Go read the rest at the Café. The competition amongst the denominations was intense.

Hello Mimi!
ReplyDeleteHappy April fools day!
Hello, Wayne. Happy April Fools Day back to you! Thanks for visiting.
ReplyDeleteI suspect more than a few have been oblivious to the date...
ReplyDeleteGreat way to start the day.
I saw this earlier on Episcopal Cafe... great way to start the day, devoted baseball fan that I am. Taking this opportunity to ask if you have any update on Stormy. Is he still at the vet or has he returned home?
ReplyDeleteRegards from all four of my cats!
Piskie, but for Lapin, I might have been oblivious, too.
ReplyDeleteWhiteycat, Stormy will go home today if he's still peeing on his own. That's blunt, but that's how it is. Thanks be to God, and thanks to you for asking. Thanks to all for the prayers.
Wendy (their other inside cat) has been missing her companion, and she sends her love and thanks, too.
