Freep this poll for a Republican dad please (baseball fans).
Posted on 07/15/2003 8:25:16 AM PDT by BlueHeeler
Please help fulfill one of my dads lifetime dreams just in time for his 57th birthday!
My dad, Bill Bellman, has been a baseball fan for as long as he can remember. He played as a kid on throughout his time in the Army, and coached Rob and I when we played softball and baseball. Even today, a heart attack hasnt stopped him from running and keeping in shape, occasionally getting out on the diamond to risk injury to those seasoned knees and ankles.
Last month, Dad asked Sebastian and I to put together a little video of his swing so that he could enter a nation-wide contest in which the winners will be selected to step up to the plat! e and face Nolan Ryan. Sebastian did a great job and, long story short, Dads video entry made it to the Top 10.
The 5 winners selected from online voting this week will be part of a Round Rock Express game in August, with Nolan Ryan pitching to each of these Real Deal fans. My dad is thrilled beyond belief to have gotten this close to batting off one of baseballs greatest pitchers.
PLEASE take two seconds and click on the below link (or paste into your browser bar) and vote for my Dad! Hes Bill B., second down on the list. And please feel free to pass this along to any other willing participants. ;-)

Done...
And I passed the link on to my email list of guys who wish they could do it too.
All the best to you and your Dad - that is a neat thing to do for him and with him. I know my dad would have loved to do this - he played sandlot and school and then coached until he was over 60.
