George Archie Night at Sulphur Dell

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!
