Stories of the famous and not-so-famous men and women from a time when baseball was "Arkansas' Game." Backroads and Ballplayers Weekly is always free and short enough to finish in one cup of coffee.
I probably saw Grant and Nick a dozen times. They both had really good years. I have a file on Adkins, but I didn't know that he had such a good nickname. Moving him to the dugout for a future story. HA
Thanks for your message. I see Coach Estes at the gym almost every day. I didn't talk to him today, but I was thinking, "Knock the ice off the bases, it is about time for college baseball."
I go to every game if I can bundle up enough to stay a few innings. Find me. I am usually wearing a navy "Birds on a Bat" cap.
Great feature as usual. I was certain or at least hopeful, you would have mentioned Grady, “Butcher Boy” Adkins from the late 1920’s
or maybe his great great Grandson formerly at Arkansas Tech, Nick “Ice Cream” Jones.

Thanks for the article on Allen. I enjoyed Martins. As always, I enjoyed your substack! Merry Christmas!
