413-423 – Craig Huey, oversees two Voter Guide sites that I recommend, electionforum.org and judgevoterguide.com, both linked at my homepage at frankpastore.com. They're getting 10,000 hits per day!
428-437 – Brian Wilson is the eccentric "closer", or ace relief pitcher, for the San Francisco Giants who led the major leagues this past season with 48 saves. And, he's getting a ton of attention for not only his new beard that he dyes jet-black, and his "Fear The Beard" chanting fans, but also for his unique post-save routine, where he crosses his arms into an X, with one hand a fist and the other a pointing index finger, and then points up to the sky. I was curious what that was all about. It ends up, he's a Christian!
• He was the #2 starter for the LSU Tigers, got drafted in the 24th round by the Giants in 2003, then promptly had Tommy John surgery on his elbow. He made his big league debut on April 23, 2006, then got sent down to AAA San Jose after a rough Spring Training in 2007. He got called back up in August 2007, converted 6 of 7 save opportunities, and became the Giants closer to start the 2008 season, and was named to his first All Star team. He saved 38 of 45 in 2009, before leading the major leagues in 2010 with 48 saves in 53 opportunities.

443-452 – Do you find yourself pulling for athletes and actors you know are Christians? Or, against those who endorse candidates you oppose? For example, just this morning, I heard actor Dennis Haysbert, Jonas from The Unit, the president in early 24, and the guy in the Allstate commercials, doing a voice over for Barbara Boxer. I love this guy as an actor, but now, I'm less interested in watching him. Any of you have the same experience? I'm not consistent with this however, I still like Elton John, Barbara Streisand, and Linda Ronstadt. But I am more inclined to like Gary Sinese and Jon Voight because they're conservatives. Any of you come to Christ as a result of a celebrity?
