A League Of Their Own Comes Home To Bosse Field On June 22 [Video]
June 12, 2012 10:08 AM 
2012 marks the 20th anniversary of the motion Picture ‘A League of Their Own’ which was shot at historic Bosse Field. To commemorate the anniversary, the movie will be shown at Bosse Field on Friday June 22nd at 8pm. Tickets will be $5 for general admission and $8 for box seats to see the movie that has become a sports classic and put Bosse Field on an international stage. Bosse Field is the third oldest active baseball park in the country, second only to Wrigley Field in Chicago and Fenway Park in Boston.
The movie starred Tom Hanks, Madonna, Geena Davis and Rosie O’Donnell and was directed by Penny Marshall who also directed ‘Big’ which also starred Hanks in the lead role. Bosse Field provided the main back drop for ‘League’ and the actors spent a lot of time getting to know some of the locals in Evansville and the surrounding area.
One of the most memorable characters in the movie was the ‘bratty’ Stillwell Angel Gardner who was played by Posey County’s very own Justin Scheller who had no prior acting experience and landed the role after auditioning with about 800 other kids at Central High School. Scheller by the way, did not choose acting as a profession after ‘League’. As of 2009, Scheller was the asst. track coach at his alma mater, North Posey High.
Along with the movie itself on June 22nd, actual former players from AAGPBL will be on hand like, Eillen “Ginger” Gascon who played one year in the league and was actually in the movie as part of the Cooperstown scene at the Baseball Hall of Fame. Also on hand will Erma Berman who played 5 years in the league, two of which were spent with the Racine Belles…Bosse was the home field for the Belles in the movie.
There will also be cars that were featured in the movie courtesy of the Tri-State Antique Car Club. It will be great night for the family and just like Otters baseball, a very affordable night for the entire family. See a trailer from the movie below.
‘Koalaing’ Could Be the Cutest Web Photo Trend Yet
Forget (if you haven't already) milking, planking, hadokening, any of those-ings that were internet fads for a hot minute. They've been replaced. They're done. Koalaing -- that's the trick o' the day. It involved clinging as tightly to a pole or tree as possible like a koala. It's pretty adorable. Check it out.

Remember When George Strait Went to Prison?
It was the wildest show behind bars, and George Strait was in the thick of it for one year in the early '80s. He wasn't the only one. Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Tom T. Hall … they all did time behind the walls of the Huntsville Unit of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

Deer Goes Crazy After Crashing Into a Bus
May 18, 2013 12:00 PM I have had my fair share of run ins with deer. Living in the country, it's just a way of life. You must, during the early morning hours and evening/night hours, constantly be on alert and have your eyes scanning the sides of the road.
Once, on a trip back to Indiana from Tennessee, a deer came inches away from slamming through the passenger side window of my car, injuring my son. Luckily, the deer hit the front of the windshield and rolled off the hood of the car. But in the case of this bus, it came right through the window and went crazy!!

The second video might be the greates trick golf shot ever and definitely a one-in-a-million shot.
‘Sixty for Sixty’ Campaign for George Strait Falls Short
May 18, 2013 4:00 AM George Strait turns 61 years old TODAY! The "Sixty for Sixty" campaign to get George his 60th #1 single while he was still 60 years old didn't quite make it, "Give It All We Got Tonight" has only made it to #10. But, that's OK, there is no one like George Strait and there quite possibly never will be. Several, I mean tons, of artists made videos to try and urge fans to buy the single. It is very touching. Watch them give love and admiration to the king of country music.
