Furman has a great Diamond Classic

I had an entertaining and informative interview with Marty Brennaman (left) before the Upstate Diamond Classic, but his speech was better than anything I asked him about.   Photo by Mykal McEldowney/The Greenville News/Greenvilleonline.com


I attended Furman's Upstate Diamond Classic Fundraiser Wednesday night, with Cincinnati Reds broadcaster Marty Brennaman the featured speaker. It was a great event and there will be a story in Thursday's Greenville News and at greenvilleonline.com.

Read the story to find out which childhood hero Brennaman met while in Greenville in 1977 to do a Furman basketball game for television.

Former major leaguers and upstate residents Alvin Dark and Bobby Bolin were there. Dark turned 90 last month!
