I can actually remember going to see the Richmond team as a kid They were they were the Richmond Virginians back then, and were the Yankees AAA farm team. Remember Mel Stotlemeyer, I saw him pitch in Richmond. The highlight of the Virginians visits was seeing the comic umpire, Al shack umpire an exhibition, in which Satchel Page pitched. He must have been in his 60s or even 70s then, but "I got to see him".
"A day spent in the fields and woods, or on the water should not count as a day off our allotted number upon this earth."
