Hello Brian,

Definitely more than one way to skin this cat, but the following will
work:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^baseball.htm/ /query.php?q=baseball [L]

If you want to make it a bit more dynamic you could do this:

RewriteRule ^sport/(.*)$ /query.php?q=$1 [L]

Then you can do sport/baseball.htm or sport/football.htm and it'll be
passed to query.php each time.

Best regards,

Richard Davey
