Fesh Guestbook and Guestbook Archive

Here we will provide a forum for Barons fans to pay their respects and rehash old memories.  We will also include guestbook postings that we still have from the old website.

Provided is a chronicle of original guestbook postings from 1999 and 2000 that survived due to foresight of the members.  Thanks for the memories!

  Alright, you got me. I have to admit that I enjoy reading your perspectives on the games. It definitely beats the average
  run-of-the-mill newspaper stuff. Keep up the good work. We'll see ya when we get back from Durham and Charlotte.

  Greetings from The Crimi Clan.
  
  We had a great time at Lackawana Stadium. We were pleased to see you keep Feshy company while he is away from home. By the way, we are the ones who took a picture of the coveted fan club to put in the hometown paper. (As soon as we get the pictures developed.) We will definately be back for a visit before school starts, even if that means that Feshy keeps Joe out until 2:00 a.m. again! 
  How about some new sign ideas?
  
  Fesh up! (Fess up, get it?)
  To Fesh or not to Fesh- That is the question!
  
  Kelly says Hi Feshy! I had fun spending two days with you and 
  swimming!
  
  Keep up the good work!! 
  
  The Crimi Clan!

  We have know Sean for years--ethan from school, -&- me, well, from watching him endure many hours of rehab back here
  in CT.
  
  He's a great guy that really appreciates his fans, and always has time to tell them!
  
  The 2.5 hour ride to PA was worth it (although I fell asleep until we reached home, and made poor ethan drive the lonely
  road home himself...)
  
  Keep up all of the great work you guys do---we really enjoyed watching you--your enthusiasm is catching!

  I go to almost every Red Barons game and you guys are doing a good job of getting the crowd into the game. Keep up the good work! P.S. I am the leader of the Billy McMillon fanclub, but he doesn't like me very much and I don't really care for him, and we argue quite often...so if you want to join send me an e-mail!

  On behalf of the people in Section 124 who are at every game, I 
  just want to say that you guys really made this season special. As soon 
  as the Seventh Inning Stretch came around, we started craning our necks looking for the "Feshies". You guys helped make the games fun again. 
  Even though the season is not over yet, I wanted to give my own personal Top Ten list. This first one is Top Ten Taunts Given by the Fesh Fan Club (at least the ones I have heard):
  10. Hey Ja Honnie Carbonal!
  9. Resin Bag!
  8. 30 . . . .pounds overweight!
  7. Michael Coleman's Jock Itch
  6. Andy Abad's pants
  5. "Don't you have a Little League game tomorrow?" (to young looking 
  pitcher)
  4 Eat a Sandwich! (to skinny pitcher)
  3. Calvin Pickering fat jokes (all of them!) especially - "don't eat 
  our players!"
  2. MILDRED! (my personal favorite)
  1. To Jim Corsi: "what did you do - melt down your World Series Ring 
  for food??!!"
  
  Finally, Top Ten Cheers:
  10. The Scoreboard Walk guys 
  B2 
  02/Sep/1999:18:16:14 
  Sorry - my list of cheers got cut off. Trying again. Top Ten Fesh Fan 
  Club Cheers :

  4. Shout!!
  3. JOHN BELUSHI!!!

  funny as hell!!!!! u probably don't remebr this but i was the guy that 
  screamed across the street 2 ya the first night of the barons playoff 
  games. me and my buddies think ur great. and remember..fesh and fire 
  what a mix!!!!

  11/Sep/1999:14:34:09 
  Hey!
  
  I just wanna say that I think you guys are great. Your enthusiasm and 
  support for the Barons is much appreciated and needed. And all those 
  idiots who complain and bitch can all just shove it up their ass. You 
  guys make going to the park even more enjoyable, not to take anything 
  away from the players. And I think the most upsetting thing about going 
  to the games is the fans who go just once a month or so and think they 
  know everything. But I digress. I also think the Red Rockets are a 
  disgrace, but oh well, what are ya gonna do? You guys just keep up the 
  good work and I'll see ya tonight at game 4 of the first round.

  My sincerest thanks go out to all of the Fesh fans. I have been 
  attending Red Barons games since the team first came to NEPA, and in all of those years I have never had the privlege of seeing fans with such a 
  great attitude about America's past time. All people your age and even a 
  little older can hold their heads higher knowing that you have set the 
  example that young people are appreciated and respected for their 
  dedication. You always showed good judgement and represtened the young people of our area in a great fashion. When I started attending games in the spring, I never sat in the bleachers, but towards the end and especially in the playoffs, I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else.
  There will always people who will say that you were too loud, or too 
  obnoxious, but I don't think that the Barons or anyone else who loves 
  the game would have had it any other way. Together, the fans can change the game (to steal a slogan from one of your posters), and you traveled leaps and bo

  Hello from the home of the Cactus League, my new outpost. Thanks for the 
  nice words, everybody. At least it shows somebody's reading the ol' rag. 
  Good to see the boys playing all right. And, if I might indulge some, 
  while the IL was getting frozen out Sunday, it was 94 degrees in 
  Phoenix. Don't worry about the orange-shirted ones; they know not what 
  you do. Have fun!!!

  Great site, you guys! Am I wrong or didn't the Fesh Prince wear 
  #34 in his first game(s) with the Barons? See you guys at the "stade". 
  Don't neglect www.heckledepot.com. It's a site dedicated solely to 
  baseball heckles. You can use DOZENS of 'em. Drive that enemy right

  Hey Guys, 
  
  Hopefully a few of us are headed to Durham tonite to check out your 
  crew. Too bad we didn't go last night. Because as we all know....
  
  "Chicks really dig the long ball !!"
  
  Ouch !! I will personally let the boys know you are listening on the 
  radio and will see them at Chicks. So ... we don't like T Green 
  ehhh. Maybe we'll rough him up for you. Wish me luck, my wife is not 
  to up on me going 1.5 hours away for a ballgame on a weeknite. 
  Something about her wanting me to be there for the birth of our child. 
  WOMEN !! Dont they get it! This is "The Fesh". BTW ... Phillie - 
  Kurt Schilling is a former Greensbor minor leaguer. Cant remember if 
  he was with the Reds or Red Sox at that time. We used to party with 
  him. Helped announce a softball game starring your beloved Phillie 
  pitcher a few years ago. Greensboro is his favorite minor league 
  town. Pretty Cool !!

  Hi There Guys, 
  
  Tough roadie for the Red Barons, eh. I know it will be good for them 
  to be back home. Good luck making the play offs. Tell the boys in the 
  bull pen that the Fan Club South says hello. Take your frustrations 
  out on an opposing player (I prefer pitchers). It always works for 
  me. I view heckling as a form of therapy and I need a session. We 
  have the Charleston River Dogs (formerly the Rainbows - boy did we have fun with that)in town for a three game series. 
  
  Have Fun

  We were doing are thing at venerable War Memorial Stadium last night

  you talk to him tell him the Fan Club South is ditching him and

  Hey Guys,
  
  This is Mitch from Fan Club South. I did receive the mass e-mail, good 
  work. I liked the article on your group. We too had a few written on 
  or about us. The similarities continue. Keep up the good work. Good 
  luck in the playoff drive. We are involved in a battle her as well.

  Hey Guys, 
  
  I hope all is well. Doesn't sound like The Fesh is getting much work 
  lately. I see from an earlier post you guys have problems with the 
  booster club too. Ours is so screwed up I wouldnt even consider 
  joining. I just learned that due to our odd playoff format (we have 
  three divisions and the season is divided into halves with separate 
  champions for each half) that even if we do not win the second half our 
  overall mark puts us into the playoffs(that's play downs for all you 
  Gil Thorpe fans). So we will have post season heckling for the 3rd or 
  4th or 5th year in a row. Well, the Yanks are good for something. 
  There will be a (another I should say) push for a new stadium here this 
  off season. Should be interesting. Our venerable venue was built in 
  1926 and it shows. I like it but I dont work there. Good luck the 
  last few weeks of the season and good luck in your various school 
  related interests.

  I hope you guys make the playoffs. It looks as if Durham and Charlotte 
  are both in. Possibility of me and the boys making a road trip to one 
  of those games. Doubtful but possible !!
  
  Good Luck at your various educational pursuits.

  Doubt it though. The wife may have a problem with me trying to roadie 
  and go to our play off games as well. Great season guys. I am in for 
  a little post season heckling on wednesday. Take care. Already I 
  cant wait for February 2000. Me and my buddies consider the day 
  pitchers and cathers report as the first day of spring.

  Hey, this is Mitch from Fesh-South. You guys probably wont believe 
  this but my connection to your team continues. You are scheduled to 
  have Anthony Schumaker on your squad. He is from my home town - Kokomo Indiana !! I saw him a few years ago when he did a stint in the SAL. 
  At that time his stuff was reportedly nasty and his ERA was below 
  1.00. But that was then. Of course I am probably 15 years older than 
  he is so .......... but If you want to sort of Freak him out a little 
  just let me know and I will give you some info on Kokomo, In. UUUUHHH if this guy is not from kokomo ..... Never Mind !!!!!
