This August 20, 2008 NOAA satellite image shows Tropical Storm Fay located south of Cape Canaveral, Florida. Tropical Storm Fay was heading eastward toward Florida's Atlantic coast early August 20, with forecasters saying it will more than likely make a return trip to the waterlogged state after it finally moves offshore."This storm is going to be with us for a while. That's obvious now," Florida Governor Charlie Crist said late Tuesday."It looks like it could be a boomerang storm." Forecasters said Fay may stick around through Thursday or later. Fay on Tuesday slammed into Florida's southwest coast, buffeting the Sunshine State with severe winds and drenching rains, while also spawning tornadoes and severe flooding.

I remember when Mr. Crain brought me over here, and he said, ‘Firmani, this is going to be it.’ I said, ‘Oh my God, Mr. Crain! You’ve got to be dreaming here. When you talk about a dream — it was really a dream ... The labor was all donated. It was just a tireless task for those people. ... We just took the rocks out with a rake. Not only me, there were many others. The list is endless.
said Larry Firmani
We started with four teams, 60 players ... Now there’s more than 300 players. I could never foresee anything like that in my lifetime. But fortunately we did. It’s been good years. I’ve made good acquaintances like Steve (Clary), I don’t know how many others. That’s the purpose of it. It’s a small community. We’ve got some good baseball teams; we’ve got some good baseball players; we’ve got some good sports.
