Original Apple On The Move
Yes Lighting Can Strike Twice
LGIO
Nashville, TN
With just a few weeks of downtime remaining before they begin the rigorous off season training program leading up to the 2009 season, the Apples today have confirmed recent reports that an original Apple is on the move and prepared to prove that lighting does in fact strike twice.
Speaking from his off season home on Hilton Head Island, AGFHOF Don Bernitt confirmed to reporters that original Apple Mary Anderson has agreed to terms with the Birmingham, Al. based Adam's Smashers.
At his hastily arranged briefing on the beaches of HHI, Bernitt said that "truth be known, and for the record, it was Mary Anderson who helped in providing the original spark that led to the Apples taking the field over a decade ago." Bernitt added to the story of Anderson's history with the Apples when he pointed out that in their first season of play the club finished with a record of 0-11. "I'll never forget it" continued Bernitt as he described how following the win less season he was called into the front office and blasted by team ownership. "We used to call it getting Beazed, and boy was I Beazed" chuckled Bernitt as he looked back on the beginning of the storied Apple franchise that in time came to dominate the Nashville landscape like had never been done before nor will ever be again.
Bernitt concluded the impromptu gathering by praising Anderson's past efforts on behalf of the Apples and said that he looked forward to keeping in touch with Anderson as she takes her masterful skills to another venue and joins the Adams team. "I'll say this much" said Bernitt " I'd rather play on her team then against her team, so look out all."
With her move to Adam's, Anderson also will now re-establish contact with former Apples Terry Mattingly and Jeff Hall who recently likewise took their skills first learned as part of the Apples to the friendly confines of the Adams Smashers.
As the summer grows long and a new season draws near do not be surprised when you soon again hear that now famous cheer.....................
How bout them Apples.

THE NEWEST APPLE
The Next Generation
Vivian Richardson In The House

Nashville,TN
The Apples 2008 Summer Tour stopped for a moment this week to celebrate the birth of the newest Apple, Vivian Rae Richardson. Ms Richardson, the 2nd daughter and 4th child of Scott and Natalie Richardson entered the world last Thursday August 14th in time to watch her first Tennessee Titans game on TV from the cozy confines of her mothers arms.
"We're tickled" said the proud father Scott Richardson in between his phone calls to local Nashville sports talk shows which is part of his regular routine. Richardson, who played shortstop for the Apples in their inaugural season of 1998 gleamed from ear to ear when asked to describe his feelings surrounding the birth of VR. "She's precious" added mom Natalie as she smiled at sons Sam, Henry and daughter Marin as they gazed in wonderment at their baby sister.
With Vivian now at home with her family, the obvious question to be asked of Scott and Natalie will they make a run at "one for the thumb" and add child number 5 to the team in the next few years.
Although far to early to answer that question, one thing that is known for sure.... How bout them Apples!

AN APPLE SOARS HIGH
Oliver Earns Title of IP
Instructor Pilot At Age 18

Nashville, TN
In breaking news from the United States Air Force Academy, it was today announced that future Apple Michael Oliver, nephew of AGFHOF Don Bernitt, has earned and been awarded the distinct honor of becoming an Instructor Pilot in the United States Air Force.
The title of an IP or Instructor Pilot is without question never given,it can only be earned. By virtue of his accomplishment Oliver has proven that he has mastered the skills of flying himself and is now trusted to teach others.
Although not yet confirmed, early reports are that at the age of 18 Oliver may well in fact be the youngest Instructor Pilot in the Air Force. As a Cadet 3rd class (sophomore) at the Air Force Academy, Oliver will take the yoke of his TG-10B glider and begin teaching his fellow cadets the art and skill and flying.
When contacted for comment Oliver said that he would like to thank his dad, Retired Air Force Pilot Kris Oliver, and mom Gail Romayne Oliver for the support and guidance they provided him during his early years of flying.
Oliver's early morning phone interview was then cut short when the power went off and all that could be heard were the shouts of "Emergency, Emergency, everybody get up."
Attempts to reach Oliver again were unsuccessful and it is most likely that he had headed off to soar "Into The Wild Blue Yonder"
As the Apples 2008 Summer Tour continues do not be surprised if one day soon you look into the sky as if you have just heard from above...... How bout them Apples
