Freep the Baseball Hall of Fame's Director Dale Petroskey. Please tell him that you support his decision to cancel Susan Sarandon and her "shack-up mate" Tim Robbins.

I called and they were surprised when they got a rare call of support.

We need to change that!

Here's the opening paragraph.

The baseball Hall of Fame has canceled a 15th anniversary celebration of the film "Bull Durham," and the shrine's president said it was because of anti-war criticism by co-stars Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon.

Besides the obvious...WHY ON EARTH WOULD THE HOF HONOR BULL DURHAM? Honestly.

[bigfootbob]

I just called. They are tabulating the responses. Lets Roll folks. The response so far is 60% against and 40% in favor of the cancellation.

I agree. It's not exactly a wholesome flick. Not something I'd take my kids to see.

Dear Sir,
I just want to say thank you for keeping AMERICA in BASEBALL.Stay strong and steadfast as our President Bush has. Sarandon and Robbins are as symbolic to anti-Bush as Streisand and Penn. Your deliberations and decision will most certainly pay off in the end.
America=Baseball...Hotdogs...Apple Pie and President Bush

I just called and the phone just rang and rang until I hung up. Maybe she went to lunch and no one is there to answer.

Because the guys at the HOF believe in the soul, the [Bubba], the [Daschle], the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap...they believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone...they believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter...they believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and they believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.
