Willie Stargell Trivia
Allen listens on Blue Ridge Public Radio and writes from Asheville:
My wife & I had the privilege to attend a double tapping of Says You! in Asheville, NC. One of the “Odd Man Out” questions mentioned Willie Stargell. A point of interest I wanted to share… Willie Stargell played minor league baseball for the Asheville Tourists in 1961. I thought it would be rude to shout that from the audience. Hope you guys come back to Asheville again!
Never rude to shout out – or to touch base during intermission. We had a great time in Asheville and will be making our way back soon! Listen to our episode Bunkum in Buncombe on the Says You! podcast to hear this round of “Odd Man Out.”
Willie hit a 9th inning inside the park grand slam home run in his first home game with the Asheville Tourists to give the Tourists a 10 to 9 win. I’m happy we stayed to see one of the best plays of the season or ever!
