What a small and scary world we live in sometimes. Thoughts go out to the victims and their families in this terrible event.

I remember a story I heard on the radio years back about Dallas Green's family. The day the Phillies won the World Series in 1980 a couple fans who were out late celebrating the franchise's first W.S. decided to look in the phonebook for Dallas Green's number and leave a message thanking him. It was in the wee hours of the morning when the fans called and immediately a woman picked up and said "Green residence, home of the 1980 World Champion Phillies!"

I thought that was so awesome, you'd be hard pressed to hear a similar story nowadays.
