The Hill – The events from yesterday at Bill Worrell Field are still fresh in everyone’s mind and one fun topic to look closely at is what are some of the things that made it so special ?
In my mind the day long event transcended Sports and moved closer to a News story. In my four years here in Carroll County it was the largest gathering I’ve witnessed where everyone was on the same side.
Naturally there have been larger crowds at numerous events that I have covered but this one was different, way different. Let’s take a look 👀 inside the numbers (Sports term)…..
The difference that has to be listed first is everyone in the Park yesterday afternoon was on the same team, the same side! Getting that many folks in the same place with just one singular thought process was a Blessing into itself.
For a day it wasn’t about Democrat vs Republican, Wealthy vs Poor, Virginia / Virginia Tech or about Caitlin Vs Angle and finally it wasn’t about young versus old. It was about Cavalier Proud.
We didn’t need to jeer an opponent or taunt an athlete that wears the other schools colors to enjoy the moment. Plain and simple, it was Top Shelf Feel Good from start to finish.
Everything I do is designed to shine a bright and positive light on the Community we all share. There are so many wonderful 👏 things taking place in our little corner of the World 🌎 that it is impossible to mention it all but this one sparkled from start to finish.
Velvet Creed Leonard took the time to try and capture so much of the festivities and we will be sharing her favorites 💓 later this week.
Casey’s Mother 👩 was as proud as any parent could be yesterday afternoon as she soaked in the glorious day and shared a touching thought when she said ” I just wish Casey’s Father could be here to share in this with him”.
The one thing that someone who is a relative newcomer to Bill Worrell Park can not capture, no matter how high his opinion is of his writing skills are, is tell the story about what the day meant to someone who has spent his life around the Park that honors Bill Worrell.
If I only knew a young Man 👨 that dabbled in writing ✍ and has a bit of a connection to Bill Worrell, the story would be a tear 😢 flowing read from start to finish. I will stop ✋ short of begging Craig Worrell to put pen 🖊 to paper 📃 one time for me but that’s a story that I would read over and over!
Casey & Combs are off to a rocket 🚀 start because the first thing they did was embrace our History. That in itself would make Delilah Brady and her hard working group proud !
