I always dreamed of roaming centerfield for the LA Dodgers in lovely Dodger Stadium in Chavez Ravine. Never imagined I would do so at age 71. But when I learned that most MLB teams offered adult camps with an opportunity to live a veritable field of dreams, I signed up for the Dodger Adult Camp. As it worked out, I played for Team Garvey, coached by my all-time hero, perennial all-star, 1974 NL MVP and Gold Glove first baseman Steve Garvey!

Visitors stand on the same ground where one of the most significant chapters of American history unfolded. Mississippi has a lot of places like that if you look closely enough.
Most people driving through Corinth probably have no idea they are passing one of the most important railroad crossroads of the Civil War.
And honestly, that’s hard to imagine now.

Perhaps the single best thing a Mississippi child can have in life is a loving mother and father who are married and present. That makes all the difference.
According to a new national report ranking the strength of families in each state, Mississippi ranked 45th in the country. We’ve been climbing a lot of rankings lately, but, tragically, when it comes to strong families, we are continuing to flounder.
