September Pickups
I got what I think are a cool couple of pickups from Wheatland and LOTG. Both have to do with longtime MLB pitcher Al "General" Crowder, who is from Winston-Salem where I have lived for over 25 years. Crowder was born in Winston and after his career came back and was instrumental in developing our longstanding tradition of hosting a minor league franchise. He lived the rest of his life here, and is something of a local hero. I was lucky enough to pick up one of the cards he autographed for Uncle Jimmy (I mean, I don't if that's real but it's a good story) from Wheatland and a 1935 World Series game 4 ticket stub from LOTG where he pitched a complete game victory.
