There is another blog on hbblogs.com, called “All Things Valley League.” I've included a link at the end of this post. During the short two month schedule of the league, it’s prolific with stats and information about the competition and players. If you are interested, you can also navigate to it by following the “hbblogs” link in the blog roll section of the right hand column (--->).
Today is the final installment of the recent letter to the editor about a fan’s experience watching and being part of the Luray Wranglers this summer.
"'One Summer in Luray'
A letter to the Editor, Page News and Courier, Thursday, October 30, 2008 edition
By Bill Reid Jr., Moberly, MO
The Luray area is very beautiful and has many things of which to be proud. The progressive ownership of the Luray Wranglers is just one of the first things for which Luray is for which Luray is fortunate. The warm hearts of many volunteers and families that open their homes, especially their kitchens, to the players for two months every summer.
Luray, Virginia becomes a very special town for a group of college baseball players each summer. Owen told us it was the best baseball experience of his life and how the championship night was the best night of his life because of what the team accomplished, and how he was able to celebrate with his teammates and the Wrangler fans and friends. It for this that Luray, Virginia and the many good people we met there will remain forever in our fondest memories and in our hearts.
The treatment my son, wife and I received while in Luray is “priceless.” Like my father always says, “It’s a small world,” but for these two summer months, Luray is the place to be. We have only one regret for our son – that he won’t get to do it all over again next summer.
