China Tour A Success
Peace Intact

Nashville, TN
THIS IS A LONG READ..
"Incredible, simply incredible" said AGFHOF Don Bernitt when asked to describe the Apples just completed trip to China. "We've have all heard that you really don't know how great we have it here in America until you go away and see things from a different angle. I now know first hand how true those words are" said Bernitt as he battled the effects of his 31 hour travel day that started at the Ritz Carlton in Shanghai, China and ended when he pulled back into the Apples Nashville compound early Sunday morning.
"We had the gift of being able to see and hear so many incredible things that it is just about impossible to explain it all" said Bernitt as he drank his first truly cold drink in almost two weeks. "I take so much for granted" continued Bernitt as he explained that the water in China can not be consumed by westerners due to the high mineral content which of course bars one from using ice and therefore leads to lots of cool or warm soda, bottled water and beer. "I guess our idea and the Chi Coms idea of cold is different, because we never had a ice cold drink our entire trip" added Bernitt as he slammed his 3rd cold beer in his first hour back on American soil.
In an even greater then normal daze following the grueling trip home, Bernitt briefly explained a few highlights of the Apples goodwill tour which began with a 13 hour non stop flight from New York City to Beijing. "That was pretty cool, we actually headed due North out of JFK and flew over the top of the world, across the North Pole and south to Beijing." "I'm pretty sure I got a picture of Santa's workshop but I'll have to wait to get a look at the pictures to be sure" added Bernitt.
Upon arriving in China, the Apples were immediately confronted by the Chinese Red Army to ensure all paperwork and visa's were intact and current. Following admission into the country, Bernitt and fellow Apple Patty Pender, along with Bernitt's father Dan, and nephew Matty Oliver, headed to the heart of Beijing and within hours found themselves standing in the middle of the now infamous Tiananmen Square. "It was surreal" said Pender when asked what crossed her mind as she stood on the spot that is the history of the 1989 Tiananmmen Square Massacre. Pender also pointed out that the city of Beijing, with a population of near 17 million people, is now a very polluted city.."Just picture a grey cloudy day and then imagine the cloud hanging down to ground level" continued Pender as she described the irritating air quality of the city. Along with all else in Beijing, Pender confirmed that there are hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people riding bikes. "Anywhere, anytime, there are throngs of people on bikes" said Pender.
After several days in Beijing, which included visits to the Olympic venues of the 'Birds Nest' and 'Water Cube' the Apples toured the 800 year old Forbidden City before venturing out for a 2 1/2 hike along the Great Wall of China. "The Wall is amazing" said Bernitt as he described the 3,000 mile structure that is regarded as one of the Seven Wonders of the World.. "It's very difficult to walk" said Pender as she explained that it is almost never flat and instead flows up and down as it follows the mountains of China. "To make it tougher" added Pender, "the steps up and down are not the steps we are accustomed to, instead they are half size steps which throw your stride off." Pender then pointed out that one hill tackled by the Apples included a stretch of 454 steps up before reaching a flat surface and a few minutes of relief.
From Beijing, the Apples caught a 2 hour domestic Air China flight south to the city of Xing for a visit to what is commonly know as 'The Terracotta Soldiers' The sight, discovered just 20 years ago, has come to be learned to have been the burial sight for an ancient Chinese Emperor.. In his burial tomb stands thousands of life size Terracotta Soldiers meant to protect him as he headed to the after world.. "Another amazing day and sight" Bernitt said as he recalled the visit to the long buried army.
Next up for the Apple delegation was a treat to behold. As special guest of the Penn State Astronomy Department, and in conjunction of Peking University, the Apples traveled to the mountain tops of Anji, China where they had the awesome experience of witnessing a Total Solar Eclipse. "Again, words can not describe it" said Bernitt as he attempted to relay what it is to see this rare celestial event. "The eclipse was an 4 hour spectacular that I will never forget" continued Bernitt. " For the first two hours we of course wore specific protective eye glasses that allowed us to follow the shadow of the moon as it blocked the sun. When the eclipse went 'Total' we then witnessed with our naked eyes the awesome sight of seeing only a white outer ring of the sun in what is known as the Corona. It was stunning." Bernitt then told of the HD Video that he took of this moment and how he and others are heard repeating the same word time after time.. WOW! WOW! WOW! is all that is heard and can only be described as an involuntary reaction to a sight never before seen by the Apples. "Seeing that was worth the price of admission by itself, much less having the chances to see the rest of China as well" concluded Bernitt.
After leaving Anji, the Apples headed off for a few days in the bustling city of Shanghai. A city with over 20 million people, Shanghai was night and day different then the capital of Beijing. Said Pender, "it is a very western like city, very modern and very stylish in the dress of the people as opposed to the dull and drab garb that was Beijing. To describe Shanghai as huge is an under statement. To make a point, Nashville, TN may have 6 or 8 buildings that are over 30 stories tall, in Shanghai, there are 4,000, yes 4,000 buildings over 30 stories tall.. The skyline is very modern as future pictures on this blog will show.
Along their tour of China, the Apples took the advice of future Apple Sue Krawczyk as they made a point to eat anything put in front of them and not to shy away from a dish because of what it was. To this end, the Apples were treated to dishes of Octopus, Jellyfish, Pig Knuckles, Chicken Feet and Duck Brains just to name a few. "When in China" quipped Matty Oliver as he sucked the brains out of fresh catch of shrimp.
On the media and photograph front, Bernitt let it be known that although he has returned to America to begin training for the 2009 fall season, Apple Patty Pender as well as Dan Bernitt and Matty Oliver have remained in China and will not be back for another week. "I left all photography equipment behind and will look forward to sharing pictures and video in a few weeks" said Bernitt.
In the meantime, Bernitt made a point to say that his "big picture" of China is as follows:
In America, perhaps 80% of us are middle class and 10% are very rich and 10% are very poor.. "Do not be fooled" said Bernitt, "In China 80% of the 1.5 Billion people are very poor and live in poverty." "They have no passion, no purpose and no future." "It is not a pretty thing to see and I don't want to hear that 'they don't know any better'. "It's a damn shame, and each and everyone of us should be oh so thankful to have what we have." "I have no doubt", said Bernitt, "we are the most fortunate people alive, and yes, America is the greatest country on earth."

RED APPLES
Apples Go International
This past Springs temporary suspension of team operations, which took the Apples off of the playing field for the first time in a decade, appears now to have been a course of action that could in the end, benefit the Nashville based Coed Softball giant.
Forced to suspend play due to the lack of talent in Nashville, it has been announced that the Apples have elected to extend their reach and have begun a national, as well as international tryout schedule in hopes of fielding a team for the upcoming fall schedule of the Granny White Coed Softball League.
A recent weekend tryout in San Francisco identified several potential players who were signed to the practice squad while waiting to hear the leagues final ruling on allowing trans gender athletes to participate in Coed Softball. "It raises a few questions on the boy - girl - boy - girl batting order" said AGFHOF Don Bernitt when discussing the recent tryout.
With the recent scouting trip to California behind them, the Apples now turn their attention to the international talent pool as they have embarked on a visit to The Peoples Republic of China.
"I hear they have some folks that can swing a mean sickle over there" said Bernitt as he and fellow Apple Patty Pender prepared for the flight from New York City to Beijing. Bernitt added that he hoped his visit behind the bamboo curtain would lead to an increased openness between to the two countries in the arena of International Coed Softball. "That's true Change and Hope we can Believe in" continued Bernitt as he brushed up on his language skills of calling balls and strikes in Chinese.
While in China, the Apples plan on becoming the first Coed Softball team to hold free and open tryouts in a communist country, and at the same hope to become the first Americans to hit softballs over the Great Wall of China. "I'm looking forward at going toe to toe in a pitching matchup against the Red Chinese Army" said Bernitt as he packed his 'Made in China' ball and glove in the overhead bin of team plane Apple 1.
And so it goes, the Apples take to the world and begin to spread their vision of America and Coed Softball. GOD help us all..

Off Season Tour Underway
1st Stop California
Toocool
San Francisco
Following the 2009 season that wasn't, the Apples began their off season tour this past weekend with a trip west to the Salinas Valley and the artichoke and strawberry fields of Watsonville, Ca.
In addition to the day spent in the "Salad Bowl" of America, the Apples also took a step back in time as they retraced the steps of their 1995 visit to California and the San Francisco Bay area.
"What a beautiful city" said AGFHOF Don Bernitt has he and fellow Apple Patty Pender gazed across the bay from the Golden Gate Bridge. "If there was just some way to get the freaks out of here this would be a pretty cool place" added Bernitt as he was pummeled by the high octane winds atop the bridge.
With June now behind us and the summer ready to kick into high gear, it's any ones guess as to where the Apples may show up next. With rumors flourishing of a pending trip to the deep south, one thing is for sure, if you listen for a wind coming from the far east you may will soon hear that now famous cheer..........

Apples Angered

Nashville,USA
Where are you now? For the past eight years many people seemed to take pleasure in a free -for- all attack of our country, it's former administration and its policies.
Now, as the world lays witness to events taking place in Iran, the Apples have a question; Where are you now?
Do you remember the jokes and scoffs when George Bush called Iraq, Iran and North Korea an "axis of evil"? Where are you now?
Are you watching what is happening in Iran? Are you watching as your brothers and sisters are being murdered in the streets of Iran because they dare to taste the very freedom that many in this country take for granted? Where are you now?
Did you see the young women, Neda Agha Soltan, as she dared to peacefully protest for freedom on the streets of Iran? Did you see her die? Where are you now?
As has been proclaimed by the Apples in the past; Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness is not just for white men in America.. This absolute truth is the bedrock for all of GODS children being able to say "Free at Last, Free at Last, thank GOD Almighty, we're Free at Last." Where are you now?
You criticized your country and its leaders when they dared to believe that the people of Iraq should be free. Now, the blood of freedom is screaming from the dead in Iran.

Another Apple On The Move
Bailey Announces Change
Takes Game To Hometown Team
Locationlocationlocation
Lebanon,TN
Following a ten year run as team swing coach, Apple Jeff Bailey has announced that he will be leaving his current position at the end of the month to assume a similar role with his hometown PFG Pears.
"It's never an easy decision to make a move like this, but I feel it's the right time to do so." said Bailey as he announced his decision to sign a free agent contract that will have him join the Lebanon, TN based Pears.
"I had a nice 10 year run here" said Bailey, "I'll take a lot a fun memories from this job and of course" added Bailey, "this is where I met my wonderful wife, Lisa Bailey Bean. There is not too much bad you can say about a gig like that" concluded Bailey as he loaded his golf clubs in the cab of his truck and headed out for a quick 9 holes as a tune from the band 'Dave's Not Here' blared from the truck stereo
When contacted on vacation for comment on Bailey's decision, Apple Executive Apparel Buyer Don Upton said, " I'm sorry... who is leaving? Jeff? I'm not sure if I know who Jeff is" joked Upton before taking a minute to thank Bailey for his past efforts and to wish him well in his new role.
With the move, Bailey now finds himself in the unique position of working just 10 minutes from home. "It's going to be great" said Jeff, "I look forward to sleeping later and having cocktails earlier"
And so it goes, the Apple tree extends its reach as another Apple leaves and begins to grow again in a new orchard. Just another example of not if, but when we will hear that now famous cheer........

APPLE TO SAY.... BUY
Big D In The House
Miller Joins Adams
Buylowsellhigh
Nashville,TN
As speculated, it has been confirmed that one time Apple Coach and Buyer, Dennis Miller, has accepted a similar position with the Birmingham, Alabama based Adams Produce conglomerate.
Approached at a pool party and rib cook off in Suburban Nashville to celebrate the upcoming marriage of Apple infielder Tiffany Smith and Professional Bass Fisherman Houston McSwain, Miller said that he had been looking to "get back in the game" since the Apple restructuring that forced him from his position a few years ago.
"This wont be my first rodeo, I'm looking forward to getting back onto the field and kicking some dirt soon" added Miller as he tossed back shots of Patrone to celebrate his pending move.
Miller now joins several other one time Apples who have taken their games from humble beginnings in Nashville and have over time joined up with the Adams ownership group to become a major force in the Southeast United States Coed Softball League.
When then asked about expectations in regards to selling his Nashville home under current market conditions as he prepares to join Adams in Birmingham, Miller surprised well wishers when he replied, "I'm not going anywhere, the position that I have accepted is here in Nashville." Miller then poured another round of Tequila and toasted, "Here's to my new job, and to Christi getting married."
With the announcement of Millers move, we today again see why it is always just a matter of time before we hear that famous cheer.............

APPLE ON THE MOVE
Apple Swirl
Back To Basics
Wheretheskyisalwaysblue
Nashville, TN.
Following a week in which Tennessee Titan quarterback Vince Young publicly stated his desire to be traded, it has today been learned that a high level Apple is on the move and will be soon be wearing a new uniform.
Contacted in Houston Texas, Titans owner Bud Adams denied any knowledge or involvement in the breaking news story before pointing out that this would not be the first time that his last name had been erroneously linked to a rumour involving a former Apple.
Mr. Adams then pointed out that when the Nashville based Apples were first sold by founder John Beasley, it was a group in Houston that paid a then record price for the franchise. "Perhaps that has something to do with the confusion today" added Adams as he was peppered for information on the yet to be identified Apple on the move. When then asked what, if anything, he knows about the team that has on occasion been mixed up with his, Adams said although he has never meet anyone from the group, he understands "they know a thing or two about bringing home the cabbage."
As the news of the pending move broke, efforts to reach the Apples were unsuccessful. A recorded message at the teams headquarters said the Apples were participating in charity bike ride from Birmingham, Alabama to the Panhandle of Florida. Callers where then directed to visit the teams website later in the week for an Apple update.
It's now time to hurry up and wait as the Apples appear ready to hit again. As has been thought for a long time, it's not a question of if the Apples will shine again, but instead the question is when. With someone big apparently now on the move, it's time for the guessing games to begin as to when we will next hear that now famous cheer.....

HISTORIC APPLE HQ GOES UP IN FLAMES
Apple History Lost
Was This An Accident?
Nashville, TN
Burnbabyburn
After first shutting down their coed softball operations this Spring, the Apples saw another chapter of their storied history come to an end with this weeks burning of the teams former Headquarters and Training Facility.
The facility, located in the historic Germantown section of Nashville and which was recently put on the American Coed Softball Register of Historic Sites, was all but destroyed in the 3 alarm fire that rang out this week.
"If those walls could talk you would hear a a lot of screaming and swearing" said AGFHOF Don Bernitt when contacted following the blaze. "We took that building and those in it on a heck of a ride over the years" added former Apple Manager Dennis Miller as he struggled to hold back tears when told of the inferno that had swept through the former front offices of the Apples.
Although inconclusive, initial test show the fire perhaps starting in or near the upstairs office of former team owner and CEO John Beasley. One source close to the fire investigation who would only speak on the condition of anonymity, reported that he had heard multiple stories of hot air coming from Beasley's office over the years which may have led to the fire. However added the source, the amount of Bullshit that also came out of some team meetings should have dampened the ground and reduced the chances of this type of thing happening. Attempts to reach Beasley were unsuccessful both in Nashville and at his private resort in the Bahamas.
As has been said before, " You can take away our team and you can take our building, but you will never be able to take our cheer.."

APPLES CHANGE WITH TIMES
Apples Announcement Expected
New Team Possible
As Spring gives way to Summer, so it appears that change is underway with the Apples. After a multi year run in Nashville, it has been learned that the Apples will soon announce an ambitious plan to take their brand nationally and then eventually globally.
"It's a little early for details" said AG Don Bernitt, "but yea, we have an idea and we are looking at the national and global market."
Initial reports have the Apples deciding on the rapidly expanding Internet networking tool of 'Twitter' as a springboard for their expansion. "That is true" said Bernitt, "you can now follow Apple Tweets at twitter.com/Bernitt
In addition to the Apples global expansion, it has also been learned that we will soon be held hostage to another season of postings involving sports. Coming soon, "Knights Baseball", a 35 and older baseball team fighting for their first league title as part of the Cumberland Valley Adult Baseball League.

BO OBAMA AN APPLE ?
1st Family Chooses Apple Mascot
Portuguese Water Dog Picked
Isaidstay
Nashville,TN
Following a lengthy background check which included contact with Apple executives, it has been announced that President Obama and the first family have settled on the Apple mascot, the Portuguese Water Dog to become the First Dog. 'Bo' made his first White House appearance today and has quickly become the center of attention on Pennsylvania Ave and around the country.
For several years, Apple team members and fans have been familiar with the Portie as they have come to love team mascot Bella. A Portuguese Water Dog since birth, Bella has become a fixture over the past few years at Apple Headquarters and has accompanied the Apples to several off the field events.
"She's so sweet" said Apple Christi Copous when asked to comment on Bella. Copous, along with the Woehnker-Todd family of Brentwood, TN have been regular host of Bella when her owner's Don Bernitt and Patty Pender travel on team business.
When last seen on the beaches of Hilton Hilton Head Island, Bella seemed oblivious to the commotion surrounding the Portuguese Water Dog and it's soon to be status of First Dog of the United States.
"I know Bella, and Bo is no Bella" said Bernitt when asked to comment on the high profile addition to the first family. "There is no doubt that the Obamas will love their Portie, they are amazing dogs and I'm sure Bo will be fun to have around. I'm sorry that I'm going to have to get rid of Bella now that her cover has been blown" concluded Bernitt.
When asked if he had any insight for the first family and their new Portie, Bernitt said "they like pizza, macaroni and cheese and a whole lot of attention."
From Nashville to the White House, today belongs to the dogs as they bark in harmony...

When last seen on the beaches of Hilton Hilton Head Island, Bella seemed oblivious to the commotion surrounding the Portuguese Water Dog and it's soon to be status of First Dog of the United States.
"I know Bella, and Bo is no Bella" said Bernitt when asked to comment on the high profile addition to the first family. "There is no doubt that the Obamas will love their Portie, they are amazing dogs and I'm sure Bo will be fun to have around. I'm sorry that I'm going to have to get rid of Bella now that her cover has been blown" concluded Bernitt.
When asked if he had any insight for the first family and their new Portie, Bernitt said "they like pizza, macaroni and cheese and a whole lot of attention."
From Nashville to the White House, today belongs to the dogs as they bark in harmony...
