Dear Sir,
Congratulations, our fan interest increased slightly because
our team won on a promotion day. Good job!

Subject: Phil Cavarretta healing process
Phil Cavarretta is not recovering as fast as I have
hoped! So expect his injury to last about 14 more days.

Team Doctor

Subject: Progress of Tom Alston
Dear Sir,
Tom Alston has nothing more to prove at AA Knoxville Smokies!
He has an AVG of .303 over there, so I think
a promotion wouldn't hurt him at all.

Scouting Director
