Subject: RE: [TylerBaseball] Kilgore exhibition game

I will be there

In fact I am there every day

(I do my walking around the trail which goes around the outside of Driller Park)

 

Ron Shaffer told me Friday that he wanted to go and take Austin

(unless something  comes up that keeps him from going)

 

He says that Austin is really big now. What is he 12-13 ??

 

Below Is an article in yesterdays  Kilgore New Herald

I just wanted him to correct his statement... not put my name in the paper.

I had to go back and look through my picture albums to find waht year the

Wildcatters played there.

A COUPLE OF SPORTS ITEMS should be noted.

FIRST, a reminder that Wednesday an important event for both

the Kilgore sports community and the Kilgore Chamber of

Commerce - the return of professional baseball to Driller Park.

THE chamber, Alcoa and a host of businesses around town,

 are sponsoring an exhibition game between the Shreveport

 Sports and the Fort Worth Cats. The game will begin at

6 p.m.; tickets will be $5 at the gate, and kids under 12

 will be admitted free (as will Kilgore Boys Baseball

Association players in uniform)

 

And if you don't want to miss church, they've got you covered there, too.

The chaplain of the Cats, along with new First Baptist Church pastor

Eddie Hilburn, will host a prayer service and devotional at 5 p.m.

 

BY the way, it's been said that this is the first pro game at Driller since

the 1940's. Not true, according to reader Marvin Hillhouse.

 

MARVIN said the Tyler Wildcatters actually played the Alexandria Aces at

Driller in an exhibition contest in 1996. He should know - he was a member

of the Tyler Wildcatters' booster club.
