It has to be the "Pilot Precise Rolling Ball V5 Extra Fine"! I'm not that particular about most things. If my coffee is hot, that's good enough for me. And if a car gets me where I need to go, I don't care that much about what it looks like. But when it comes to pens - there's only one choice. There is no substitute.

On June 15, 1976, something totally unexpected occurred - a Major League Baseball game was rained out. Not that unexpected, you say? Happens all the time, you say? Well, this particular game, called off for rain, was set to be played in the Astrodome - indoors!
