Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving, and a safe one too.   See you in December. Danny Kelly 01/07/2010 2:35 PM http://www.baltimoreblast.com/fanzone/teamblog/?entry_id=11 30 Years... Proud, passionate, believers, warm, smart, quick witted, nasty, heart on their sleeve, ditchdiggers, grab hold and don't let go, blue collar, you want some/come get some types, leave it on the floor, friendly, neighborhoods, community, family, the Colts #19, the Ravens, the Blast... the people of Baltimore. This is to, well, you know who you are. It was the Baltimore Civic Center, that used to be packed to the rafters, that I am constantly reminded of. And now it's 1st Mariner Arena. Great players have come and gone, as well as a great owner or two and some quality coaches, for sure. But the one constant has been the fans here in Baltimore, who have not only supported us, and played a major role in helping us win championships, but have helped set a standard of excellence all their own. Five years running the Blast (the fans) have led the league in attendance. Five years. The fans here in Baltimore might talk the talk sometimes, but they surely walk the walk. The numbers don't lie. To our Blast fans, and to the city of Baltimore, Thank You.

But we will be ready when Philadelphia comes to town, and hopefully get a good result in front of another great crowd at 1st Mariner Arena.
