My non-genetic twin and fellow baseball vagabond, Al Smith, has received a wonderful honor. It seems that the good folks of Berryville, VA have named the road that traverses the county park at the town’s entrance in his honor. I’m not sure if this is a tribute to his baseball career or his dedicated service to the Department of the Army from which Al retired this past January. Al’s not sure either as it was a surprise to him when I showed him the sign, but there can’t be any doubt that it is he for whom it is named. After all, a photo doesn’t lie: There’s Al and there’s the sign.

Al standing by the sign marking the circle named for him. Don’t know why he wasn’t invited to the unveiling.
