Perhaps the most interesting new teammate for this year is Nick Safka. Other than his family, school and baseball, Nick devotes his time to carrier pigeons. As can be inferred by the picture, Nick has a flock of birds numbering in the hundreds. A virtual expert on the subject, young Nick has published dozens of books on training, caring and managing carrier pigeons. Called "Coo Coo" in bird circles, Nick's advice and input are sought out from international circles. His most famous bird "Statue Bomber" was the subject of a little viewed Ken Burns documentary.
