Chris, Crystal, John and Sabrena teamed up to get some more positive ink for Our Generals and I wanted to share. The magazine is based out of Charlottesville, Virginia and is named The Hook.

Shenandoah is 24 hours away from their first game in the D-III World Series and Chuck McGill and the gang at the NVD (www.nvdaily.com) is your source for all of the current info. Before we talk about this weeks coverage I want to revisit the Monday edition of the NVD. Kudos to one of the best “Covers/Gamers” that I have read in a while!

       Greg Brill and I go back a few years and there has always been a mutual respect to the point that Greg & his wife Cathy are two of the folks we plan to honor this summer down @ Kate Collins. Cathy is the long time coach of the Warren County High School Wildcats while Greg has been working his pen for almost 30 years here in the Valley. Greg was up in Salisbury, Maryland for the Shenandoah University clincher last week. Two things came from that trip across US-50- One was a pair of brilliantly written stories and the second was Chuck’s ability to create the space for all of the inches.

      If you are a baseball fan I promise you that you will enjoy the way Greg captured the moment for the young men that make up the SU Hornets. Take 10 minutes and click on to the site for a GREAT read, all you have to do is scroll back to Monday.

    The NVD/SU express wasn’t going to stop there though! I was able to confirm with Mr. McGill earlier this week that there would be plenty of SU coverage this week as well. He has lived up to his word and turned young Jeremy Stafford loose on the project. Read here much and you will know our Love for Jeremy and his work. More fresh stuff on the site that you will want to click on and check out.

Come down to Kate Collins on July 17TH and share in the big night for the Brill’s when Front Royal takes on the Generals.

Back when Mr. Jim Critzer first approached me about getting involved with the Waynesboro Generals of the Valley League I mentioned my hopes would be to create an atmosphere that rivaled one of a Class A Minor League team. I have spent as much time in minor league parks as I have in MLB parks and there is a certain charm you find there.

         The diehard baseball fan will come to the park just to watch a baseball game but if you are going to get the non-fan or the middle-of-the-road fan you better give them a reason to load up the car and drive to the park. With a GREAT deal of help from a number of folks that are near & dear to me, we will be attempting to do just that here in a couple of weeks.

      Tonight will serve as one final check list of fun and affordable things we can do at KC this summer that make a few more people to join us as the Ball Diamond. Camera in hand, the final journey is set to begin!

         Team Waynesboro is excited to announce that an agreement has been reached between the Waynesboro Generals and the Stuarts Draft Diamond Backs of the Rockingham County Baseball League to play an exhibition game on Wednesday June 3RD. Kate Collins will be the site for the contest.

       The 7:00 contest will follow a session were fans from both organizations will have the opportunity to meet the players for the 2009 season. The official start time for the Meet The Generals & Diamondbacks is 4:30 P.M. The Generals Canteen will be open for business and admission will be free.

A special Thanks to Mr. Tinker Kiser of the Diamond Backs for his assistance in making this possible!
