The combination of 2 days of rain, and the seasons first below freezing temperatures appear to have played a part in what is being described by the Nashville Police Department as a "one vehicle" accident this past weekend.

Although details remain sketchy, it is being reported the AGFHOF Don Bernitt sustained minor injuries over the weekend when he crashed his late model Honda into a wood fence at the teams headquarters.

Emergency response teams at the accident scene say Bernitt appears to have turned into the team driveway at a high rate of speed and then was unable to stop his vehicle before plowing through a wood fence and into a bamboo grove.

Unconfirmed reports have also added that it was fellow Apple Patty Pender who first arrived on the crash site and attended to Bernitt after first smashing the car windows out with a softball bat.

Neither Bernitt or Pender could be reached for comment following the crash which only added to the speculation that there was more to the accident story then has been reported.

In addition to the odd silence from the Apple camp after the accident, it has also been learned that for the past several weeks there have been several stories leaked from the teams off season compound that suggest that all is not well with the Apples.

One such leaked story claims there are both email and text messages that will show Bernitt has recently been spotted taking batting practice at a local high school gym with a team other then the Apples. If true, this out of season practice will only add to the speculation that Bernitt is planning on leaving the Apples prior to the start of the 2010 season.

With Christmas and the New Years upon us, it may be tough to get to the bottom of this story for several weeks. If past history is a clue, the Apples will be laying low for the rest of the calander year as they join with family and friends to celebrate the holidays.

Come January, it's any one's guess. Will the Apples survive the turmoil that swirls around them, or will they spin out of control and bring an end to the history that is the Apples?

For now, there is no answer to that question or to the questions that surround the weekend crash. For better or for worse, there is but one thing left to say......


How bout them Apples !!
