Tallassee rallies around Milner after loss of grandfather

Baseball means a lot of different things to different people. For some people it’s an escape; for others it's a release; for many it’s an artifact of a childhood that can be relived with a ball, a glove and a friend.

It’s impossible to quantify exactly what baseball means to the millions of people who adore it, but it is possible to say baseball is far more than a game for those people. It’s a shared language with a deep-seated connection to American history, representing nearly 200 years of traditions, lessons and memories.
