But just a few exits down the interstate in any direction, and you'll quickly realize you're a long ways from home. The kudzu will be the first clue. The roadside stand selling boiled peanuts will be your … (0 comments)

waxhaw nc real estate: Baseball Championships are here Now you be a Champ! - 10/15/10 01:46 PM
 
Now that the baseball championships are upon us, I thought you would enjoy some advice I've gleaned from two quotes of an outstanding 1897 baseball player.
 
‘Wee’ Willie Keeler is one of the smallest men to ever play Major League baseball.  At 5'4" and only 140 pounds, he was a fascinating player.  He perfected the ‘Baltimore chop’, where he would hit the ball hard into the ground just in front of the plate.  The ball would hop so high that he would be on first base before it came back to earth!
 
In 1897, Keeler, a right fielder … (1 comments)
