I just purchased a Graig Nettles card, but psa labeled it Craig(1988 score). Why didn't his parents spell Graig the common way?

Did she not realize that there were other choices?

Me either. Chank is so much better.
My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

If so, she wouldn't be the last to make that claim.
<< <i>I don't believe the story about how his Mom didn't like the names Greg and Craig. How many other Craig's can you name that were around before Graig Nettles was born. It just wasn't a popular name then. His Mom was just a poor speller. I don't like the names Frank and Chuck. >>

PSA? Heck, the card company can't even get it right ON THE SAME CARD!
