You Aint Ghana: Believe It!

If The Pied Piper of The Fens has the Back Bay Handel on brackish water music for absorbent lemmings (provided her gurgling cacophony isnt drowned out by The Big Dig), then Diamondhacks has reached out thirsty Sonoran roots to, more clearly, touch the world.

Diamondhacks proudly received its first African guest yesterday, when the official scorer ruled a brief visit from the Republic of Ghana, Kofi Annan's old neck o' the woods, a "hit".

We figured our recent Barry Bonds examination and other blistering baseball exposes had some "legs", but this river grass roots response exceeded even our painstakingly delusional expectations - we also suspect Diamondhacks' resonant political and military coverage plays well abroad.

Rest assured, Dear Reader, that the allure of coveted Ghanian "cred" will not deter Diamondhacks from its defining local mission: to "pontificate ad nauseum on all things Diamondback"
