Anyone else going to this thing at Broadmoor in Madison tomorrow night? My dad got us tickets. Pretty excited about it.

I’m in Madison and first I’ve heard of it but sounds like a good evening.

Looks like Jim Ellis will be there instead of Rick Cleveland.

You know it is bad when he didn't get the invite.

How was the program?

It was a fun time. Food was pretty good. Braddy and Polk went at it all night, as did Polk and Bianco. Berry was much more reserved. Jim moderated and told a few stories. I came away impressed with how well of a public speaker Bianco is.

What’s the deal about organizing baseball leagues in Jonestown? How many kids even live there?
Do they have fields or are they playing in Clarksdale? If that’s the case, why not say “Clarksdale and the surrounding areas” instead of “Jonestown and the surrounding areas”?

I don’t really know. The guy just said they chose there because they didn’t have any rec leagues. But I also know several churches in the Jackson area have been helping build the place up. That’s about all I know.

f you build it, they will play – that’s the thinking in Coahoma County

Courtesy of Rick Cleveland:

“Coahoma County High School, which has never had a baseball field or softball field, will play their games there. So will organized youth leagues from T-ball on up. The land has been cleared and leveled. Baseball and softball diamonds have been carved. Bleachers, concession stands are under construction. Light poles are about to go up. Construction should be complete by December and ready for play next spring.”

“Buckley gives much credit for the Hope Field project to Jim Gorrie, CEO of Brasfield and Gorrie, which built the Atlanta Braves’ Trust Park. This will make a long story really short: Gorrie and Buckley met while working on mission trips in Haiti. Buckley asked Gorrie to come see what BGM was working on in the Jonestown area. Gorrie came and was intrigued. When he asked what he could do to help, Bennie Brown mentioned a baseball field. So Gorrie contacted his friends in Major League Baseball, MLB became involved, and the rest, as they say, is history.”
