Nashville, TN
With their off season now in full swing and entering into the coldest days of the year, the Apples today announced that veteran outfielder Patty Pender, who spends her off season as a physical education teacher in Nashville, has been named 2008 Teacher of the Year by TAHPERD - Tennessee Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance.
Pender was presented the award at the associations annual presidential lunch banquet that was held at the Embassy Suites - Franklin. The award ceremony, attended by over 600 members of the Tennessee chapter of TAHPERD was highlighted by the presentation of the award to Pender following the keynote address by Tennessee Titans starting linebacker David Thorton. Thorton's address to the crowd included several references to individuals like Pender who through their daily actions show and teach the benefits of daily exercise and an overall healthy lifestyle.
"I'm touched, I really am" said Pender when asked for comment following the ceremony. Added Pender, "It's always an honor to be recognized by your peers, and I'm thankful to everyone who played a part in making this day what it was." Pender then spent a few minutes taking photos and signing autographs before heading out of into the brisk November weather to begin her daily exercise routine that is part of the Apples off season training schedule.
When contacted about the award given to Pender, AGFHOF Don Bernitt was quick to say, "I'm really not surprised at all. Patty has for years been one of the leaders of the Apples and I don't think any of our post game get together's would have taken place without her." "Kidding aside" continued Bernitt, "Pender has the energy of a teenager and my hat is off to her. She is a great example of what an active lifestyle has to offer and I'm darn proud to have her as my teammate for life."
And so it goes, the off season continues and the Apples roll on, and to no surprise we again hear that now famous cheer.............................
How bout them Apples !
Way To Go Patty !!!

APPLES PROUD TO BE AMERICANS
Is This A Great Country Or What
The Mountain Top Is In Sight
USAUSAUSA
Nashville, TN.
Go figure, the sun did rise today and the birds are still chirping. Following a long and often bitter presidential campaign (nothing new there), people across the globe today have again witnessed, why despite our shortcomings and problems as a nation,we the people of the United States of America are among the most fortunate people alive.
How great is it that a country of our size and diverse human experiences, can come together under the freedoms provided by our founding fathers and in one day change our government that is in fact, "Of the People, By the People, And for the People"
With the election of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States, we have continued the process of a peaceful change of power that has been undertaken every four years for over 200 years now.
When contacted at his off season home in suburban Nashville about the election, AGFHOF Don Bernitt commented that "regardless of our individual preferences and regardless how we cast our vote, today we should all sing the song of Lee Greenwood and say, I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free."
Bernitt went on to say, "of course, with last night's peaceful change of power, comes the historic fact that our country has elected it's first Afro-American President, and while it is important on occasion to look back at the past disgrace that is our nations racial history, I feel that it is far more important that we now look forward and realize that all Americans can now live the life that was put forth by Martin Luther King when he spoke of his dream and said, "Free at last, Free at Last, Thank GOD Almighty We Are Free At Last."
Continued Bernitt, as long as I am throwing out quotes, how about this one, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." With that, Bernitt headed to the Apples new training facility in downtown Nashville and joined several other of his teammates as the Apples ramp up their off season conditioning program as they prepare for the 2009 Coed Softball Season.
With the election now over, it's back to the important things in life as we are now a day closer to when we next hear the now famous cheer.....................

APPLES SET TO ENDORSE
Long Awaited Announcement Expected
Apples Have Picked Last 5 Winners
Itsalmostover
Nashville,TN
With the painfully long Presidential campaign about over, it has been learned that the highly sought after Apple endorsement could come at any time.
Having correctly predicted the last 5 presidential winners, it should come as no surprise that the campaigns of both John McCain and Barack Obama have heavily courted the Apples over the past few months.
In what was initially thought to be a indicator of their intentions, the Apples were spotted this summer in Anchorage, Alaska just weeks before McCain's selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate. When asked about this visit, AGFHOF Don Bernitt said "you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig."
In has also been reported that the Apples were seen two weeks ago in Pennsylvania on the heels of an Obama - Biden visit to the keystone state. When asked about the visit, AGFHOF Don Bernitt said, "you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig."
When contacted this past weekend about the pending Apple endorsement, Bernitt said that there were a few more details to work out with potential team sponsors before the final announcement is made.
Next up for the Apples will be a first of its kind public service announcement that will have the Apples appearing in a 30 minute TV commercial that will remind all voters that due to the expected heavy voter turnout this year, those Americans planning on voting for John McCain are asked to come to the polls on Tuesday Nov. 4th while those voting for Barack Obama are asked to come to the polls on Wednesday Nov. 5th.
Where we go from here is soon to be seen, but one thing we know for sure is that regardless of the outcome of the election, don't be surprised when during his inaugural speech in January, that our next President yells that now famous cheer...
