Live from Atlanta

Checking in from the pressbox at Turner Field in Atlanta ... I got the chance to interview Shelby High graduate and Cincinnati Reds' outfielder Norris Hopper before the game, along with Cincy interim manager Pete Mackanin. Also spoke briefly with Chase High graduate Todd Coffey. If you need any more proof it's a small world, the sports editor from the Forest City Courier is here to do a feature on Coffey and is right beside me in the pressbox!

Look for the feature on Hopper in an upcoming edition of The Star and online at www.shelbystar.com. I also hope to have some more pictures updated on the blog when we get back to the hotel.
