Blue, JCA, Obed, kevrock hitting credit limits.  MDS sober but insane.  Send bucks.

Historical note: Griffith Stadium was one of many ballparks that did not sell beer before prohibition. The night before opening day, 1933, FDR asked Griff and the president of the NL to visit the White House. Asked if they would sell beer. Answer was, most parks, no.

FDR thought that baseball had helped to keep the nation's spirits up (ahem) during the Depression.
