Heck yeah me too! Used to watch the Winchester Royals a lot.
CDS obviously liked Alaska since he sent his own son there to play, but you are right, things change.This used to be my thing, gonna be interesting to see how many guys we get in The Cape. Sadly, doesn’t seem like staff feels The ABL is the right spot. I always liked the late night games. Obviously, I hope the Owls kick that A$$, way, way too early, just getting started.
Pulaski VA... River Turtles. Calfee Park I believe is oldest in Appy League opened in 1935 I think. It's the 9th oldest minor league park in United States. Used to be Braves in the 90s with David Justice and many others. Was also Yankees recently. Terrific ballpark.Staunton Braves here...$5 admission...wooden bats...$1.50 hot dogs and $2.50 beers...
BEST Baseball Atmosphere in the mountains...
Y’all need to check out the Forest CityVolsOwls this summer. The team usually has a bunch of current Tennessee Vols and several Knoxville and East Tennessee area players. It’s just a hop and a skip away from Knoxville, great baseball, fun family atmosphere and really good food. And best of all, one of the nicest guys and fellow Volnation poster is the owner. Our very own @@1RBFjr .
FINALLY, MAY IS HERE — and that means OWLS BASEBALL is BACK!
The countdown is ON:
• 14 days ‘til our legendary interns report
• 20 days ‘til the Owls arrive
• 25 days ‘til our first intra-squad showdown
• 27 days ‘til OPENING NIGHT
• 30 days ‘til the first FIREWORKS light up the sky!
The summer starts at McNair Field — and tickets are flying!
Grab yours NOW and let’s pack the stands!
See you under the lights!

Got to catch a game in Kingsport last summer when the Axmen played the JC Doughboys. Great evening at the park!Thanks, @MAD . Should have lots of orange in Forest City this summer- three Vols (waiting on one to get paperwork in), and our new GM is a Tennessee graduate. Zane Denton contacted me, and his brother Myles is coming (Myles is playing juco presently). And, to clarify, I have a business partner who is incredible and deserves far more credit than I do. Probably most important is that our spouses are along for the ride and tolerate lots of baseball.
