OK, the next chapter of SHORT HOP is ready to go. Thanks to everybody for their patience. I admit I was a little concerned about losing my files in the move, but everything worked out fine.

One note about Pittsburgh. I said before that they began as the Cannons, but they actually began as the Drillers before moving to Vancouver in 1979 to become the Mounties. The franchise in Miami actually moved north to Pittsburgh in 1998 and became the Cannons. Declining attendance and the promise of a new stadium in Pittsburgh (not to mention a loyal fan base) lured them away from the Sunshine State (hey, it's unusual but it's my league). There. I feel better now.

One other note: the Eastern Developmental League consists of the Hinesville Gents, the Ft. Myers Pelicans, the Delta (Lafayette) Pilots, the Beaumont Hornets, and the independent Tuscaloosa Tomcats.
