Foreshadowing comes in many forms.Remember when Charles Schultz passed away the same day of the last new "Peanuts" strip? Things like that happen for a reason.

I do believe that the towers are still on hole number 10 on LB Houston Golf Course. and they are still out of bounds if you hit it to the left-- but then again if you are hitting that far to the left where the hole is-- then you need to be talking to Tom Hicks for a pull hitter's position with the Texas Rangers.. thats a might hard PULL!
Just a thought!

Mr. Coyle passed away on Tuesday, November 29th. He was a giant, but you never would have heard him use that word about himself.
