A Don McCormack column: ‘Home Field’ is a gridiron home run DON McCORMACKStar Beacon Yes, Loyal Readers, it’s that good. You need not be a Geneva fan to enjoy the footage, either. Watching some of the vintage film from decades ago should be required viewing for football fans young and old.
The segment that shows a slideshow of some of the Eagles who went on to serve their country is heart tugging. Just how good is “Home Field?” So good that this is my one and only complaint — at 30 minutes, I was left wanting for more, much more. Fortunately, Potter quenches that thirst, too, as he has a second DVD of simply highlights. At 25 bucks, it’s a steal. It’s available at Winner’s Circle Trophy Shop, located at 549 E. Main St. in Geneva. For more information, call the shop at 466-9466. And Potter’s amazing effort is a true labor or love. He’s not lining his pockets with this. All proceeds from sales of “Home Field” will benefit Geneva athletics. Trust me on this one, Loyal Readers — “Home Field” gets five stars. You can thank me later. Name dropping Columbus Clippers manager Torey Lovullo was not pleased with his squad in a 12-5 loss to the Durham Bulls on Saturday night at Huntington Park. So much so, in fact, he invoked the name Ashtabula during the nontest. Two miscues by first baseman Jordan Brown and one by shortstop Niuman Romero led to a visit to the mound by Lovullo and an animated discussion with the infielders. The message was direct. “Wake up!” Lovullo said. “It looked like we were still on that bus trip somewhere in Ashtabula. It’s not satisfactory. Jack Cassel is out there grinding out his first inning of work and making pitches, and we didn’t do anything behind him.”
