We have officially gone through 345,367 7/16 wrenches this season.  Our entire profit from the Columbus Fall Classic goes into our wrench fund.  If your son or daughter has a wrench or ten on their dresser, please implore them to bring the wrenches to crew tomorrow morning.  Ditto for seat pads.  I understand that there is a rumor afloat that we melt down excess wrenches into metal blocks to which we attach to novices, before throwing them overboard, when they fail to get adequate backsplash on the catch.  That rumor is utter nonsense, (but where did those novices go?)
