Skip Nipper’s Nashville Baseball Podcast

George Archie Night at Sulphur Dell

Skip Nipper Season 4 Episode 14

In the final season of the Nashville Vols in 1963, general manager Ed Doherty declared August 30 as "George Archie Night" at the ballpark—a fitting tribute to a local hero.

Archie was a coach for the Nashville Vols at the time, an unpaid position at home games, and that’s how he was dressed when he was honored that night: in his Vols uniform.

In this episode you will learn about this dedicated baseball man's career from the majors, to serving in the military, and managing and coaching in local sandlots!
