As a youngster growing up on West South Street in Jefferson Iowa I have vivid memories of Hawkeye football afternoons in the side yard listening to the great Jim Zabel. He made three yard runs seem just as exciting as touchdowns. His famed I Love It...I Love It...I Love It could be heard all through the neighborhood as we cranked the radio is hopes of a Hawkeye victory. As a young boy when he said hug your radio I would do just that. Thanks for the memories Z!
Carroll lost one of its biggest advocates on Monday afternoon as Jim Wilson passed away. In the most recent weeks I enjoyed delivering meals to Jim on Mondays. I knew that his body was failing him and I also knew his mind was still sharp as a tack. I loved talking with him but more importantly I loved listening to his knowledge. He will be missed. In Tuesday's edition of the award winning Daily Times Herald nephew Doug Burns paid a fantastic tribute to his uncle. Click here to read the well deserved and touching portrayal.
I have been in Carroll for 20 years and last night at the Carroll Country Club I witnessed for the first time around seven golfers sitting around a table and all of a sudden turn into pitching aces and head for the dark parking lot. Matt Lujano dug out his glove and squatted down into the catching position as 1996 Kuemper graduate Tony Pietig prepared to let one fly with dreams of Nolan Ryan. Lujano can only be the catcher as he awaits the medical clearance from Dr. Ervelli for his bad elbow. The challenge was simple. A pitch greater than 60 miles an hour and Pietig would be carried off the field(parking lot) a winner. Thankfully there was no strike zone. Head Glass man Andy Reiman was all smiles with anticipation of some window replacement business being generated. Lujano said "all I know was the glove was popping." After a few pitches into the dark the group reconvened back to their table and made a plan. So it has been set Tuesday, June 11th at 8:30 will be the first pitch in the parking lot of the Carroll Country Club to see if Tony "Mariono Rivera" Pietig can top 60 miles an hour. The second main event of the evening will be John Nepple getting three balls to see if he can top the 70 miles an hour limit. Side bets are being placed, a jugs machine is being brought and this is bound to be an epic night of baseball. See you at 8:30 next week!

A great job to all at the Carroll Country Club for hosting two very successful events on Sunday and Monday. Thanks to Jim and his staff for working so hard on the course through all of this wet weather. If you want to see some good golf stop out to the club this weekend and watch the Carroll AM. Here is the monthly newsletter if you have not seen it yet.
A happy belated birthday to the one and only John Dukes. Dukes came into town on Sunday and we played 18 holes. The lefty/righty or whatever way he wants to swing from tied this publisher which does not make for a happy Mike.
Well I think that about does it. See you next week in the parking lot.
As always This Bud's For You and On Iowa! I Love It! I Love It! I Love It!
