As best as I can tell, 92 former major league players passed away in 2024, and there are some great names among them, such as Mike Cubbage, Billy Gardner (who played for the Nashville Vols in 1953), Rico Carty, Ed Ott, and Don Wert among them. But quite literally, an All-Star team could be built around some of these names.

In this episode, I call out some of the greats who passed away during the year, including perhaps the best all-around player of all-time, Willie Mays!

You may already know this, but "Donnie Baseball", the "Hit Man", is returning to Nashville for a special night in January. He will be the featured guest at the 87th Annual Old Timers banquet to be held on Sunday evening, January 19th, at the Sheraton Music City Nashville Airport.

He will join a long list of notable basball players, coaches, scouts, and dignitaries who were honored at the group's events over the years.

I am a proud member of Old Timers, an "old timer" myself, and in this episode I give a brief description of Mattingly's excellent career!

My book was a labor of love for more than one reason. Dedicated to my father, Virgil Nipper, and supported in a special way by my mother, Dorothy, in this episode I talk about how the concept began and the encouragement I received to bring it to fruition!
