MILROY
I enjoy covering section baseball games, especially when I can travel to Milroy and broadcast from two of the best baseball complexes around. In the small town of Milroy, just about 10 miles outside of Marshall is the beautiful ballpark, Yankee Field. Then, a few miles outside of Milroy is Irish Yard, another beautiful baseball park. I have a thing about small-town ballparks. Some have … Continue reading MILROY

All in fun. Well my granddaughter Gretta … Continue reading GRANDKIDS ARE A BLESSING

Dawson-Boyd and LQPV were going to play … Continue reading MIKED UP SNAFU

One of my favorite places to broadcast a baseball game. Lac qui … Continue reading PRESS BOX FRIENDS
Kona
I’ve blogged about my daughter Brianna’s dog Kona before. But, this last Saturday and Sunday was fun watching my wife Roxie and Kona bond together. A little background, since Roxie and I have been married, which has been 48 years we have never had a dog! Even when raising four children in the house we didn’t have a dog. It’s ironic because when we were … Continue reading Kona
