Stop #7 on the Around The Valley in 60 Days tour was last Friday night in New Market. I have always said that in my opinion the Wrangler- Rebels contests were my favorite in the league. I really believe that this is a match-up where the rivalry is bigger for the fans of the teams than the players themselves. There are some similarities between New Market baseball and UNC basketball. The Tar Heels have to face a biggest rival more often than all other ACC teams. They are the biggest game of the season for Duke, North Carolina State and Wake Forrest. But it doesn't stop there for the Heels- after Va Tech, the biggest game on the UVA schedule is UNC as is the case for South Carolina (after Clemson). New Market has the natural in county rival (Woodstock), the neighbors from across the mountain ( Luray ), the friends from the south (17 miles to H'Burg ) and I'm not sure that Winchester and the Rebels don't do a bit of sizing each other up. It was the easiest pick...

Anyone who is reading this and lives in Shenandoah County needs to pick-up a copy of the Shenandoah Valley- Herald. We had the privilege of meeting Susan Thompson this past week when we kicked off the Around The Valley promotion in Woodstock. Susan has taken over as the managing editor of the paper in Woodstock and she went above and beyond by not only donating free papers but she stood out there with our family and greeted people. She had won me over already but she topped it today on Page D4 (upper corner) of her newspaper today.I don't want to ruin the surprise for those who can get to a copy of the Valley-Herald..... Thank you once again!!!!

Good Morning! What a great night last night in Woodstock. I great deal of thought went into the choice of going to the New Market @ Woodstock game on opening night. I answered a ton of questions last night and was smiling the entire time. I like the format of the top ten list so here is one from last night: THE TOP LIST OF WHY LAST NIGHT WAS SO GREAT! 10. I had been invited to be a guest speaker at the New Market Rebels / Shenandoah Valley Grandstand Managers club dinner earlier this year. After a great evening with very knowledgeable and caring baseball fans I knew this group would be there with passports in hand looking for the River Bandits stamp. They exceeded my expectations as the Rebel faithful showed up in groves despite the threat of thunder storms. 9. Stu and Mrs. Richardson had been great right out of the box where the promotion was concerned. Stu had everything set up right where we needed it to be and was as gracious of a host owner as one could hope for. 8. Craig Orn...

Today was the best day our Around the Valley team could ask for as we traveled from Luray, VA, to Woodstock, VA, to get our first passport stamp! Jerry, Rebecca, Linda, Sabrena and Diamond (our puppy) arrived on the scene just before 6:00 pm where we were given a great spot to greet fans as they entered the park. We enjoyed the company of a River Bandit faithful who is giving birth to her sixth child on Monday morning! When asked who would take her spot she replied, "I don't expect to be out more than week or so!" The fans trickled in and by game time the park was full of both Rebel and River Bandit fans excited about the beginning of two months of great summer baseball. Your usual blog poster - Jerry Carter - is out doing his "real" job delivering the Washington Post but will bring you the Around the Valley narrative you've grown to love. We're hoping to get him to take a nap after he gets off around 7:00 am so you can expect that you'll see a post ...
