Thanks for the kind words, elfdog. I hope you continue to enjoy the thread.

I'm not from Ohio--my family's originally from Ontario and Michigan, and I grew up in Georgia, where my dad got a job teaching and coaching. My wife's family is from Dover, however, and that's why I know the area. I've visited that part of Ohio several times with her.

On one of our trips, we set off on a trip to find all things Cy Young. We visited his grave, found the site of his farm, that sort of thing. People had left several baseballs at the base of his gravestone.

P.S. The restaurant at the Buehler's supermarket in Dover serves one of the best hamburgers I've ever eaten. I also love their all-you-can-eat fish fry on Friday.
