The Nash County Senior Legion baseball team will be holding tryouts on May14 and 15 at a site to be determined. Hank Jones will be returning as head coach and he is now formulating has coaching staff for this season.
Nash County will have plenty of pressure on this years team as they will be trying to return to the State Tournament for the third straight year.
One player who everyone wishes would play Legion can not this summer is Benton Moss. Part of winning the Morehead-Cain Scholarship to UNC is that he will be off doing an internship some where in the United States. The winner of the Morehead is given an internship every summer in four different fields which helps enrich the life of the winner for four summers.
Games will be played at Nash Central this season and you will have to put up listening to me for another summer as Joe Bell the Athletic Officer of the Coleman-Pitt Post 58 has just signed me to a multimillion dollar contract to keep me from going after Woody Durham's job with the Tarheel Sports Network.
You laugh if you will but when Wally Ausley retired from doing games for the Wolfpack Sports Network in the early 90's, I applied and got an interview before losing out to Gary Hahn. There is no doubt that a job like that was a dream of mine all my radio life but now I have hit the age where I'm too old to have a shot. They will be hiring someone who can stay there thirty years.
I don't know whether you know this or not but Bob Harris and Woody Durham who for years now have been at the other end of the press table any time Carolina and Duke played each other. They were little league teammates while growing up in Albemarle. Who would ever suspect that.
Back to Legion the first game is scheduled for May 23rd at Cary.
Good luck to everyone who is planning on trying out for Legion Ball!
