Forst played minor league ball in the Frontier League for two years, becoming a fixture at short for the Springfield Capitals. He sat in dugouts that make Harvard's dugout benches look like luxury boxes. He endured twelve-hour bus rides from North Nowhere to East Hickville.

Nearby Springfield is hosting their 10th annual Earth Day Clean Up. Manchester, New Hampshire is to host a "One World, One People" Earth Day festival, complete with guest speakers, exhibits, and a solar-powered sound system. Even that dreadful outer-city ghetto, New Haven, Connecticut has devoted this past week to promoting...
