Many of you crossed paths with long-time Fastpitch groundskeeper and 
umpire, Mutt Nagle.  Mutt was rarely without a big "chaw" of tobacco and, 
as my father said, he's not really cussing, it's just his form of 
slang!!!!  Many a ball game was saved from the weather by Mutt.  His pride 
and joy was St. Joseph's Walnut Park---easily the best fastpitch venue in 
Northwest Missouri and arguably the best in the entire state before it got 
in the way of a hog processor.  Here's his obit.

Regards,

Bill Cook
