Stories of the famous and not-so-famous men and women from the days when Baseball was "Arkansas' Game." Always free and always short enough to finish in one cup of coffee.
My great uncle, Rollie Stiles, was born in Ratcliff, Arkansas. Played for the St. Louis Browns in the 30s as well as several minor league teams. He was a great guy. Lived to be 100!
Base hit on the first “at bat.”
Thanks Jim…and Susan.

Jim,
This is a home run! Promoting on AR Strong and my personal social media.
A hug,

I wrote an essay about Rollie in my first book. For a few months before his death, he was the oldest living former major leaguer. He lived to be 100.
