Yep! His family farmed potatoes there.
He had a tryout with the Yankees too....right on the field with the big boys! Mantle, Berra, Skowron, Richardson, Boyer, Maris, Ford......shall I go on? That was before the Sox got ahold of him.
I am not tellin' MikeP anything he doesn't know......he "is" from Lawn Guyland!
