Skip Nipper's Nashville Baseball History Podcast

[Skip's Corner @SkipCorner]

I have seen videos of thrown knuckleballs with little or no rotation, haven’t you? Besides kids in your neighborhood, or having a catch in Little League practice, how many of them were thrown by someone with a connection to Music City? #nashvillebaseball https://t.co/yo4MfhMU9J

[Nashville Stars ⚾️ @NashvilleStars]

Stars music advisor @juliacolemusic is ready for the chance to cheer on her new “home” team - the Nashville Stars. In the meantime, she continues to spend plenty of time on the field now.

Cole had the honor of singing at the first baseball game in the Middle East and just before that, she sang the anthem as her hometown Astros faced the Texas Rangers in Game 3 of the 2023 American League Championship Series. 

In addition, she swings a potent bat every year in Nashville at the Rock and Jock Celebrity Softball Game benefiting @FoldsofHonor.

𝑻𝒆𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒏 sports editor Dave Ammenheuser coordinated a spring training trip in 2016. I tagged along with Bart Leathers and Farrell Owens (both deceased). 8 years later, we talk about that great six-games-in-five days “immaculate visitation!”

Sorry to report James Harold Martin passed away this morning. He was past president of our organization (1999-2000) and a beloved board member... @mrsulphurdell #nashvillebaseball #oldtimersbaseball

Nashville became a NY @Giants farm club in ‘52, rumored that @NashvilleVols would become @RedSox or @Phillies affiliate when 3-year agreement ended. But at end of ‘54 season GM Larry Gilbert surprised everyone when he announced a new @mlb connection: https://t.co/DY0SJOcfdE

I just published the 100th episode of Skip’s Corner, the Nashville Baseball Podcast on @buzzsprout! https://t.co/Rj4LgMIFZU

[Skip Nipper @mrsulphurdell]

In this episode, I tell about my friend, Michael Thurman, and his gift of teaching his ballplayers. February is Black History Month, and what better time to teach Negro Leagues baseball history to youngsters! #negroleagues #blackhistorymonth #baseball

3/ We had people join us who’ve been coming for decades along with rookies who joined us for the first time.

2/ Although the weather might have kept a few people away, we sold over 350 tickets which allowed us to give away 16 scholarships and provide funding for local ball fields. We’ve been fortunate to have some incredible speakers over the years and Griffey did not disappoint!

1/ We were honored to have Ken Griffey, Sr. w/ us on Sunday night for our 86th Annual Nashville Old Timers Banquet! He was a marvelous featured guest as he shared insight into his career, met each scholarship recipient, took pictures & signed autographs afterwards. More photos ⤵️

Thank you @NashvilleOTBA and sponsors. I was honored to be awarded a 2024 Old Timers Baseball Association scholarship. It was awesome to meet and listen to legend Ken Griffey Sr.

Every year Dad is on my mind at our Old Timers banquet... @NashvilleOTBA
