extra like for HOF story
Vance and I were on same LL team
his Dad was very active in LL while I lived in Kville
my brother coached and remained active in Sequoyah LL in 70s an possibly longer
Vance actually was pretty good LL pitcher if I recall, so I enjoyed hearing about your experience with him
think my dad knew Hoyt C.
remember Willie Poplar well. Think I may have been on basketball floor a couple of times against him

So did you play ball with Sandy Gillespie, Nic Arning, and maybe Lawrence House? I was playing at the polo field I guess late 70s. My little league coach for Rogers Cadillac was Jimmy Haslam. Occasionally he’d load up the team in the back of a company pickup and go for pizza. Lawrence coached the Toms. Mike Chase coached Copper Cellar. Also Herky Payne was one of my coaches.

Man, you guys had some good ones! My little league coach at Christenberry would show up drunk most of the time and would constantly hit on the moms!
One dad got in a fight with him and pulled his kid off the team.
On most occasions a couple of the dads would handle practice or games.
Now my football coach was a different story!
He was like the Bill Parcells of pee wee football!

That was some coach

I remember an umpire being told not to return, as well as an overbearing dad get thrown out (his son later played baseball for UT).

Your doing work, boo!

I asked my dad.
“Sullivans lived across from us further down on Scenic drive. He was an Opthalmologies. I don't recall the others.”

Yes, that’s the Sullivans. The Johnsons lived on the same side as the Sullivans, a few houses closer to Southgate.

I’m pretty sure @ArdentVol and @mad4vols are older than me, and @Volprofch05 grew up in the frozen tundra of upstate New York.

Best part of that movie right there hands down. She looks just as good in the Blind Side.
