Great memories of playing baseball with Bill Don & his brother Hap on the Louisa Aces “back in the day.” Bill Don had the best “Drop” pitch of any pitcher I ever witnessed.
My prayers & thoughts for the family.
Marvin Sands
Bill Don and Hap were two great people .I enjoyed playing baseball against them ,and their Chapman team mates and later playing with them on the Louisa Aces. Marvin was spot on when talking about Bill Don’ pitching. Two great friends Who I hope to see again. I may get one more chance to hit that curve ball. God bless the family.
