”“Don’t you have any new friends on the Orioles yet?”“Sure. And I’d like to show you off to them, too. But Rollie is special, because he�...s the one who caused me to meet you.”“How’s that?”“It’s a long story, but I’ll tell you all about it later.”The Braves were out of contention and although they were well-coached and still hustled on the field, you could kind-of tell they were just playing out the string on a long, long season.

Kim, a little under 5′ 5′, is a beautiful girl with the works: an athletic body, but still sexy, swaying hips and a firm ass. Her breast sizes do not match the size of her body, being much.
