Now!

Spring is here! The flowers the showers, the grass, everything is waking up and starting to green. Songs such as “Me and You and a Dog Named Boo” and “Put me in Coach” bring about an almost festive time or feeling in us of an age to remember. With these memories of Spring that comes flooding back during this time of year comes the “Excitement” that the diamond is open and the bases are lined.

Its Baseball again, Folks!

What better way to start the season than remembering a little of the past. Our guest this week is Tim Darnell. Tim is the author of “The Crackers, Early Days of Atlanta Baseball.” Tim not only tells us stories of the second most winning-est team in all of professional sports, but gives us an insight to the early days of the game including Professional, Minor League and Negro League Ball.

A link to Amazon and Tim Darnell’s book “The Crackers, Early Days of Atlanta Baseball” can be found here.

This is a show you do not want to miss!

Relics, Detecting, Preserving and Enjoying History

We were also treated to an appearance by Butch Holcombe of “American Digger Magazine”. Not only did American Digger become a Sponsor for the show, supporting our vision of preserving the past but Butch has agreed to join us again for a weekly spot to highlight stories of History and those that relate to Metal Detecting and Relic Hunting, what is being found around the country and how you can catch the bug.

The great thing about Butch and American Digger Magazine is that they are true friends to our history’s past and are very much proponents of Preservation and Education.
