Marcus Stroman is the ultra rare Duke University starting pitcher in the Show or at least he was until a few days ago. Stroman is on the New York Yankees this season and its been an up and down (10 wins, almost as many tough starts) so his Skipper called him into his office 🏢 to inform him that he would be heading out to the bullpen for a bit.
No rants, no instant trade demands, Marcus just headed out to the bullpen and Skipper Boone talked about his desire to do whatever is best for the team.
The Box Score above shows the results of his first outing as a reliever and you can see 👀 he earned his first save ! Sadly he helped dent the fading playoff hopes of my favorite baseball team since 1977 (Braves until then) but I’m loving ❤ that in this day and age, Stroman handled a tough beat with a great deal of Class !
The biggest difference in between Cavalier Park and Rebel Park ( the place from my past that I borrowed the idea 💡 from ) is the amount of space available behind Home Plate.
To be able to maximize the number of seats we couldn’t have them be free standing as they are up in New Market. Other than that, we are liking our chances to recreate the setting once everything is in place.
Today is just step 🚶♂️ one of many and we will do our best to document the process!
The back row is now in place – 10 seats 💺 across !

J.H. Pence out of Roanoke is the Company that we purchased the seats from and they will be the ones in charge of building the initial structure.
