American Legion Baseball GREAT NEWS!

I have been elected in the 2025 North Carolina American Legion Baseball Hall of Fame! Who would have thought in 1962 when I kept the balls and strikes on the scoreboard in the old ball park in Kannapolis NC for Post 115! I haven't missed but 1 NCALB State tournament since they stated having them!
That’s good stuff!…right there.

I can see you now…back in ‘62….a young buck giving the ump “the what for” while keeping balls and strikes. 😉


Congratulations! Don.

Don, my Dad and me went with a carload of men over to Kannapolis to watch Cherryville Post 100 play them, must have been about that time (early 60's). Can remember being squeezed in between them. They all had a tall Budweiser and a big bag of pretzels that they were passing around, called them sticks... Dad got a hold of a big thick book and gave it to me when we left, I suppose to keep me from yapping and bothering everybody. He said, "Here, read this D##n book 'til we get there, it's about a feller who grew up on Morris"... As best as I can remember it was a nice ball park.
