Aw now ya'll got pretty pissed when the US Marines flew your flag upside 
down at the World Series back in 1992...I made a great photo of it that 
ran in the Washington Times for UPI don't think I used my Leica though.

Worst thing was the UPI photo editor had been a lifer in the Corps and 
one of the AP guys was a former 101 Screaming Eagle...he just had to come 
down to the UPI dark room and rub it in the Marines screwed up...
