Selection for the South team just got stronger!

Now that the North has won 2 of the last 3 competitons at N/S, I am sure Kay Cummings will start to sponsor a relocation program to move top throwers to the Confederate States. :D

Oh...now I see how it is.

Here ye, here ye. Any throwers moving into MASA territory is eligible for an autographed 8x10 glossy of me or Adam! That should bring a flood of talent this way...brace yourselves.

Speaking of, does anyone know where the Mason-Dixon line is located? Maybe I have forgotten my U.S. geography, but I am not sure the practice of selecting the teams has been "geographically accurate" in the past. :?

Here is a rough idea. The "greenish" states are the ones that were a little of both flavors.

Yeah, somehow I am a Yankee living in the "South."
