Amazing, elcroata.
Just…fantastic stuff.
Always the summers are slipping away.
Find me a way for making it stay.

speaking of the world cup, what odds do you give the US against england, elcroata?
A's v Giants "is kind of like the difference between going to see the Ramones and going to see the Bee Gees. A's fans will go see the Ramones."

Not sure
But sure as hell I’ll be rooting for them after England’s (un)expected loss versus Ukraine…
Have a glove you could spare for a good cause? If so please let me know
Cool, amazing, rec'd, wow
What do you mean somebody has said each of those things already? Well, they describe my reactions quite accurately. I don’t know if there’s anything else to say.

This is very nice…
Would there be a way to show support for the Ants via the purchase of a shirt?

Didn't think about it
But it’s a great idea for the next fundraiser – I’ll keep it in mind, thanks.

Someone should get this on the front page of SBN
Fantastic, elcroata!
"Do I talk to myself? No, I just remind myself of what I'm trying to do. You know, I never answer myself so how can I be talking to myself?" - Rickey
Holy shit this is some awesome stuff.
They call their best player "Kung Fu Panda" and they complain that people aren’t taking them or the game seriously enough? -Nick
Wow
Way to go, elcroata!
"When you go to a club at 4 in the morning, and you’re just waiting, waiting, a 600-pounder looks like J. Lo. And to me this is Jennifer Lopez right here. It’s 4 in the morning. Too much to drink. So, Nationals: Jennifer Lopez to me." - Julián Tavárez
Nice.
Great post !!! Those are moments that never escape you, even years later.
The Swingin A'zzzzzzzzzzzzz!!
Fantaastic, elcroata. Somewhere up in heaven (okay, maybe somewhere else) Babe Ruth is watching these kids and smiling, and drinking a toast to you
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
The Ants come marching in!
Usually I’m not real happy about ants in the house but I’m going to make an exception for these ones.
"One time Rickey Henderson ran so fast that Rickey Henderson went into the future."
This is fandoubledeetastic!

"Tonto think Billy Beane need to make team full of squirrels and bears."
Excellent Post
A sincere Thanks for sharing this elcroata. Highest recommendation.
Paddle Faster! I hear banjo music.
Excellent Post
even better content, idea, sticktoitiveness, execution, etc..
"I did nothing. I did absolutely nothing, and it was everything that I thought it could be." -- Peter Gibbons
This post makes me proud to be part of AN
Plus, it’s February now and not everything is automatically my fault anymore!
Thanks, elcroata.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
I love the drummers
(And the second kid in the “smiles” section looks like a nine-year-old version of my (ex) brother-in-law.)

This
is such an amazing thing to read. Amazing work! The smiles on their faces are gorgeous!
The funny thing about baseball is that people will believe what they want to believe. -Joe Posnanski 8/29/09
Fantastic job, elcroata!
Thanks for sharing. The smiles on their faces indicate you had an unqualified success.
don't grow up too fast / and don't embrace the past / this life's too good to last
Among the many very real life affirming things
That make this a great thing you’re doing, I couldn’t help notice that that “Ants” logo is sweet. Kind of amazing it’s nicer than MANY pro sports logo’s/uniforms.
I know. I’m shallow.
Seriously, great great stuff. Those kids look happy.
Deswho?
Sports unite sports inspire sports change people's lives.
This is a wonderful story about the power of sports and the power of the individual to make a difference. Well done, elcroata!!
I like the Moshi Ants better than the Gi ones.

Yellow and Black
Underrepresented uniform colors if you ask me.
Of course The Pirates don’t help the perception.
Deswho?
That's so rad!
Way to be! Totally cool…totally cool.
"Yeah, all I could find was Triple-Sec and rootbeer...What?! You mean you had tequila the whole time?!"
Just Awesome
You rock elcroata!
Go Ants!
"Who's this Seagon guy? Is he in A-ball or something?" - Billy Beane
Incredible work, man.
It’s stuff like that this that gives me hope and reminds me that there are in fact many good people out there that still care about helping others.
Good work and thanks for posting. I may have a few gloves that the Ants could use.
I love AN!
"You're just jealous. You wish you had a rally animal..." -CardinalWraith
A beautiful story
great job on the “Ants” by your wife. Superb graphic.
I could say more, but it dip into politics.
Elcroata, congratulations on your successful trip to Africa
Awaiting the start of the 2010 season!

Thanks everyone
Just a joint thank you to all your kind words. To paraphrase, such an overwhelming response from AN gives me hope and reminds me that there are in fact many good people out there that still care about helping others.
And to paraphrase some more, you rock AN! Thanks.
