As some of you who contributed to the softball post had seen, the great RED will be gracing softball'ers with his presence. However, he announced he would have to leave as he was being treated to a birthday dinner at Ipanema, a fantastic place for lunch and dinner (and do enjoy a caiparinha for me, dude).

With that I would like to be the first from this community to wish Red an extremely happy birthday! Here's to you and all the joy you have provided us, from the entertaining signs to the dances to the bobblehead that is larger than life to showing up to our last softball game in a Jose Canseco jersey.
