I got a great note from Jimmie Schaffer!
Jimmie has a couple of cool connections to Kentucky. He played his first AAA game in 1959 in Louisville as a member of the Omaha Cardinals playing against the Colonels.
He played there again in 1970 while playing with Rochester. He says that he enjoyed his visits to the bat company!
He also lived in Covington while playing for the Reds in 1968!
Jimmie managed in the Orioles minor league system, and got to know Blake Doyle who is from Cave City!
Mr. Schaffer says that he is a Phillies fan, as he played there a short time and he lives very close. He mentions that Allentown has their AAA team too!
Jimmie says that, these days, he spends a lot of time working in Limeport PA at the Limeport Stadium! He volunteers time there to help maintain the park! He sent a nice brochure on it too!
Lookouts
A GREAT view of the field at AT&T Park in Chattanooga during their pre-season open house!
