The last time I went to an Asheville Tourists game, I sat beside an old guy who knew ALL the player's and game stats. It's an enthusiasm that is sadly disappearing because the players on single A and double AA teams are no longer members of the community like they once were in your Uncle Woody's era.Mike Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065245846262417519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-22478347408696630992012-07-31T11:03:39.552-04:002012-07-31T11:03:39.552-04:00Wonder what happened that year he only played 12 g...Wonder what happened that year he only played 12 games.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413795611563683135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-30896983107272910972012-07-30T20:06:20.877-04:002012-07-30T20:06:20.877-04:00I agree.I agree.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-66137528586544966142012-07-30T20:05:51.896-04:002012-07-30T20:05:51.896-04:00Yes, I do feel lucky.Yes, I do feel lucky.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-11507249848590111182012-07-30T20:05:27.206-04:002012-07-30T20:05:27.206-04:00Thank-you very much.
