SUNS ANNOUNCE PRESIDENT'S IDENTITY

The Hagerstown Suns have received permission to announce the identity of
the former U.S. President who will be visiting Municipal Stadium on
Saturday night, July 13th.

Abraham Lincoln, one of the nation�s most historically respected leaders,
will be attending the Suns game just prior to this Saturday�s 7:05pm
game. He is expected to discuss his role in �stick ball,� his
relationship to Abner Doubleday (who is believed to have invented
baseball), and throw out the 1st Pitch prior to the Suns game.

The Suns will have a heightened security presence at the ballpark to
ensure the former President�s well-being and safety. Additional measures
will also be taken to ensure the fans entertainment.

The Suns take on the Delmarva Shorebirds, affiliate of the Baltimore
Orioles. The Suns current homestand continues through Wednesday, July
17th.

"Abraham Lincoln" will be visiting his son in nearby Camp David. I'd say
more, but the black helicopters are hovering outside. 

Thanks to a tipster for the lead on this.
