more numbers to ponder

Artist Jozef Bajus sent this announcement for an art sale to raise funds for relief efforts in Japan. The fundraiser will be held on May 6 at Buffalo State College in Buffalo, New York. All proceeds from the sales and auction of artworks will go to the Japan Society's earthquake relief fund.

Attendance at last night's Jays-Rays game in Tampa was 10,248. Attendance at yesterday morning's Triple-A Lehigh Valley game, vs. the Buffalo Bisons, was a capacity 10,000. Ouch.

Only four teams in the National League currently have records above .500. The American League is not much better, with six.

J.C. Romero has been activated from the DL. To make room for him on the roster, David Herndon was optioned to Lehigh Valley, the first time that Herndon will toil in Triple-A. The stint should give him a chance to work on current issues.
