flashback: 30 August 2009

Thank you, fb time keepers, for this breath of summers past!


That penultimate day of August, fifteen years ago, was a Sunday.

A Sunday!!!

Yet, Mister Willie Smith was at Grayson Stadium.

Such a rare occurrence for him!


Had he come to watch the Big Glove Boxing exhibition?

There it was, along the third base line, as a between-innings treat for the fans.


I remember him and Arthur Crum having a chuckle at those shenanigans!

I sure do miss those two men.


I sure do miss watching Gnate The Gnat interact with the kids.

I sure do miss watching those boys of summer on that green grass and red clay.

By the way, the Savannah Sand Gnats beat the Rome Braves that day, 2 to 0.

What a great way to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon!
