When Jay Neal emailed me the 2025 Strasburg Express schedule in order for me to pick our night at The Park, the choice was about one thing and one thing only, the visiting team needed to be the Harrisonburg Turks.
It just happened to play out that its a game between the two division leaders this season. There are a list of people that leave a mark on your life over the years and Teresa Weese is and will always remain one of the kindest souls I have had the pleasure of interacting with over the past two decades.
Angel 😇 on Earth is how I describe Mrs. Turks and I feel blessed 🙌 to have been associated with her for a little over a decade during my time with the Valley Baseball League.
The fact that the Wease family 👪 is still running the H’BURG team is a story in itself. The VBL takes an enormous toll on a person for 90 days and then you take a day or two off and start planning the next season.
When we created the promotion for the VBL that we named Around the Valley in 60 days ( now you know where the name of our two main sites come from), it was the Harrisonburg Turks that had the most participants and by a wide margin.
It would be easy to say that it was because H’BURG was in the center of the League from a geographic standpoint. But the reality is that Teresa Weese is simply someone who people want to spend time around. The season in which he were the caretakers of the Waynesboro Generals, we honored a person who makes a difference in the community that the visitors call home.
Such a fun night 🌙 back then when we were able to salute the efforts of Teresa Weese at our ballpark !
Tomorrow night it will be Express versus Turks, #1 versus #2 but for me it will be Teresa Weese and Jay Neal!
