| "I don't read many thruths in the paper. Then again, I haven't read the papers. But I hear about it. It would scare me to read the paper. I didn't know I had enough time to do the things I'm supposed to be doing… But you can't put much stock in papers. They only cost 50 cents." |

Share Your Memories!

Our sites have always been by you and about you. If
you check
our TV Forums or our Technology & Science forums, you'll find literally thousands of messages from fans
of 1970s TV shows, survivors of hurricanes or aircraft accidents, etc. from all over the world sharing their memories, asking
questions, making comments. Our baseball section is new, but don't let
that stop you from sharing
your memories of the first game you went to, your favorite player, a
now-forgotten stadium, etc. Of course you can also ask questions, post
trivia, tell the world what you think of Barry Bonds, or just read what
others are saying.
