We sure are getting off to a nice start, rainwise, the first 11 days of 2012. Let’s all “pull thumbs” that we can keep ole man Drought at bay this year. We don’t want another year like 2011. By the way, when the Birmingham Barons were at Rickwood way back when, Gabby Bell did the radio broadcasts and when the Barons got behind, he urged the fans to “pull thumbs” to get the team back on track!.
