Easter 4 - Saturday - The Weekly Round-Up

Dear Friends:

Warm temperatures in Northeast Ohio make these early days in May feel like mid-July! No one is complaining, mind you. But, it certainly has not been the ususal spring by any stretch of the imagination. The Wahoo's are still battling for first-place in the American League Central Division (wish it were September!) with some terrific pitching by the starters and the bull pen. Who knows, it may be a better summer for baseball in Cleveland than first imagined! The Weekly Round-Up is full of interesting items.
