[USML Announce] Hoosier Dads Provide Berliners Little Ray of Hope

[Brad Jansen]

Dear Brother Mark:
   I did not think my promotion of young superstar Andrew Bailey was

is quite the prospect.  I just don't know if any team has an adequate pair
of superstars to trade you for such talent!
Regards,
Brad Lee
