APPLES BRANCH OUT

Original Apple On The Move
Yes Lighting Can Strike Twice

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.
