Overview
Asheville, North Carolina, is not widely recognized as a baseball crazy city. However, for a small town where flat land is hard to find and everything is far removed from the bright lights of the big cities, Ashevilleās part in professional baseball is remarkable. In these pages youāll find little-known stories of baseballās stars, the ups and downs of the national pastime in the Land of the Sky and a number of local heroes. Meet āStruttinā Budā Shaney, a pitcher from the 1920s who served as athletic director, umpire and the McCormick Field groundskeeper at various times in the diamondās past. Despite his inexperience, gritty Tourists general manager Ron McKeeās efforts revived the flagging franchise in the 1980s. Most recently, fiery skipper Joe āMikā Mikulik has helped bring record numbers of fans to McCormick to cheer the Tourists to victory.
