Thanks for the welcome.
Another thing that recently caught my eye was on a church in Mansfield, Texas which is a smallish town between Dallas and Fort Worth.
The church is called Overcoming Faith Ministries, which sounds like a 12 step program for recovering Christians.
"Hi Guys, I'm Wendy and I'm a Faithaholic. I tried very hard not to have faith today, but I found myself praying to God that I would not kill anyone in a fit of road rage on the drive home. And guess what? It worked."
Did I mention I'm a quasi-Mormon?

That is a lot like the Yankees being surprised that some of their custom hats llooked as if they had been designed by street gangs.

It is a huge and frightening Texas church, a G&A. They advertise on billboards, even, though they do not bill themselves as the Great and Abominable.

I saw that in Sports Illustrated, New Era made some hats that had blue and red bandanas crowned around the top for the Bloods and the Crips.

Major League baseball acted like they had no clue.
