I would like to take this opportunity to post an article that references my brother Thomas G Brophy.

Of course I'd like for them to wait and see with his health and all, but I think there could be a very good fit there. CLICK HERE FOR THE ARTICLE

Here is a great Q & A from Adam Rubin at the Daily News - He gets to spend a little time with former met Tom Glavine: Say what you want about Tom Glavine’s last performance as a Met, but he’s a first-class guy who never wanted to leave Atlanta in the first place.
