This story comes from the memories of Leon Overbay and was originally written by Jules Corriere for the StoryTown Radio Show in circa 2016.
The Director's Cut podcast shares stories that did not make the final cut for the live version of the StoryTown Radio Show. They're still great stories, though, and deserve to be shared. This story comes from Leon Overbay, the Bard of Boones Creek and one of the original founders of the StoryTown Radio Show. It was written by Jules Corriere and last appeared on the air in 2016 or so. We included Leon’s story “Did I Make the Cut” in our February 2025 show, “Fair Play in the Arena of Life.” This piece about John France is an addendum to that larger story. Enjoy this memory of baseball in Jonesborough as performed by Cynthia Millhorn, Ralph Martin, Katy Rosolowski, and Emma Kate Kyker.
