BACK TO THE BALL PARK

 

DAVID CROCKETT tries his hand at pitching.


'Hands of Stone' RONNIE GARVIN anchors right field.


'Rock 'n' Roll'er RICKY MORTON at shortstop.


'Gorgeous' JIMMY GARVIN pitches as well.


A bit of offense from 'Rock 'n' Roll'er ROBERT GIBSON


On a summer afternoon in 1987, in Charlotte, North Carolina, CROCKETT PARK was the scene of one of the most fascinating sports competitions in the Tarheel state's history.

It wasn't Duke playing North Carolina, it wasn't the LA Dodgers against the SF Giants, not even the Boston Red Sox against the NY Yankees.

On this day, before the advent of the CHARLOTTE HORNETS, the CAROLINA PANTHERS or the CHARLOTTE BOBCATS, the professional wrestlers of JIM CROCKETT PROMOTIONS took on a team of employees of the Queen City's WSOC RADIO station for a softball charity fund raiser.

Oh yes, if you're interested, the boys of JCP won the game 4 - 0.
