RAMSEY WASHINGTON , JULY 7, 2018 Powell Family, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Ross and his father. Know that your loved ones will be watching over all of you during these dificult times. AARON CHRISTENSEN, NOVEMBER 9, 2017 Our family was very saddened to hear the news of Ross and his dad passing away. Ross and his pop were good friends of mine during my years coaching at TCA. Ross was such a fun and energetic person and was always so good to me and my boys. The late night practices with Ross will never be forgotten and were so much fun with his energy. Ross and Lyle will always be remembered for their friendship and kindness to us. God Bless to his family and friends in this time of grief. Coach Pierce PHILLIP PIERCE, NOVEMBER 3, 2017 Ross and Lyle, Thank you both for making this world a better place, may you rest in peace. JAY, LOREN, MITCHELL AND JACK SHARKEY, NOVEMBER 1, 2017 I want to express my condolences to the family. For the time I knew Ross I got to know him as a motivated, energetic man with a lot of heart. I'm so sorry for this terrible loss for the Powell family and friends and I am wishing you all comfort and peace during this difficult time. JESSICA DALY, NOVEMBER 1, 2017 I am so sorry to hear about Ross and his dad. I knew Ross and he was a great person and I enjoyed working with him. I apologize for not being able to attend. I am stuck in Louisiana the next few days. Please know that his USSSA family is praying for you guys and please let me know if there is anything we can do for you. Frank Griffin and the USSSA Family FRANK GRIFFIN , OCTOBER 31, 2017 Amy, I was shocked to hear this tragic news. Deepest sympathy to you and your family. I remember when Ross came to Morley Elementary and signed autographs for the students. If I dug deep enough, I probably could mine. SUE KIZER, OCTOBER 31, 2017 Words cannot express how deeply saddened I was to hear about the loss of Ross and Lyle. I went to college with Anne and we moved to Atlanta together. I had such fond memories spending time with her family. Some of my fondest memories was seeing Ross play at Spring training and going to his major league games. Family was everything to the Powell's. They always knew how to have a good time and spending time with their family was always top on their list. Reading the outpouring of stories of Ross and Lyle were very touching. They both left such an amazing legacy. Cooper and Cameron, I will continue to pray that God gives you guidance in these difficult times. I know your dad will be watching you from above. To the Powell family, I love you all! Prayers and love through each precious day. JENNIFER WHITE, OCTOBER 31, 2017 I was very sorry to hear of the passing of Ross Powell. He was a great guy and was always so good to my son helping him get started in Baseball. DWIGHT REID, OCTOBER 31, 2017 Mrs. Powell and Family, I am so very sorry for your loss. It was so good to see Ross last summer, but bittersweet that it was at my dad's funeral.. I could tell how deeply he cared for my dad and he will always hold a very special place in the hearts of our family. Please know they had a friend awaiting their arrival... God Bless Scot Lambert SCOT LAMBERT, OCTOBER 30, 2017 It was a real pleasure to be introduced to Ross by Mrs. Powell late 1980's when I was in middle school. I still have the autographed minor-league baseball card that Ross had given me those many years ago! I am very sorry for your loss. SHAWN PARKER, OCTOBER 30, 2017 Ross starred in so many of our greatest college memories. UofM baseball, that dump of a house on Main Street, a trip to the Rose Bowl, tearing up the furniture during an epic dance party in the apartment Ross, Kirt, and JL shared. It is hard to believe we won't see him again. Cooper and Cameron, we have some college pictures we'd be happy to share with you if you'd like. Just let us know: [email protected]. I know your dad loved you both like crazy. KIRT AND CARIN OJALA, OCTOBER 29, 2017 We were heartbroken when we heard about Ross and his father. Our deepest sympathy goes out to all of you. It only seems like yesterday that Ross and Chad were playing baseball. The parents were in the stands watching. There was definitely something special about coming from a small town where we all knew each other and felt like family. The years have passed but all those special times will never be forgotten. Our prayers and thoughts are with all of you. We are so sorry. Hugs to all!! Love, Sue and Dave SUSIE AND DAVE VANDEPANNE, OCTOBER 28, 2017 In our thoughts! LESLIE AND KATHLEAN POWELL, OCTOBER 28, 2017 Rick and I are soooo sorry for your loss of both Ross and Mr Powell, Rick had many years of great memories with Ross in high school and it was exciting keeping track of his baseball career after high school as Ross followed his dreams. He was a very blessed man. Heaven is very blessed to have him but he will be sadly missed here on earth. Again we are saddened by the news and our hearts hurt as well - God bless DONNA, OCTOBER 28, 2017 I had the honor and pleasure to be a friend of Ross's through our high school years. He was known to many as an endlessly hard-working and truly amazing and gifted athlete but to the close friends that surrounded him he was an even better person. Ross made no enemies and treated everyone with with kindness and respect. I affectionately referred to him as "Twig". Twig, you will be deeply missed and heaven just got one heck of a guy. ROB DUNN, OCTOBER 28, 2017 I didn't stay in touch over the years with Ross, but I have great memories of being on the farm with him, spending the night when we were young, playing basketball in the barn, maybe even doing a little work once in a while, just spending time with the whole family. I always felt welcome. Praying for the family, praying that God will comfort you all. CHRIS KING, OCTOBER 28, 2017 So sorry to learn of Ross's death. Al always spoke so glowingly of him and avidly followed his baseball career. NANCY (MRS. ALGER) NIELSEN, OCTOBER 28, 2017 Dear Aunt Dee, Amy, Annie and family, The news of the loss of Uncle Lyle and Ross has hit us with so much sadness and disbelief. There are so many fond memories we have spanning almost 60 years. Most recently, in August of 2016 when we unexpectedly lost our dad/grandfather, Dan Baker, it was by coincidence that Ross was in town. He and Aunt Delores took the time to come to the house and visit with us. We had such a great visit and our (Hollie and Tom) children (Tom and Andrew) happened to be home and were so delighted to spend time with one of their heros, Ross. Andrew still has a bat given to him that belonged to Ross and Tom has a baseball signed by Ross.

  • HISTORY NASHVILLE BASEBALL HISTORY the 2019 Season Signifies the 42Nd Season for the Nashville Sounds
    HISTORY NASHVILLE BASEBALL HISTORY The 2019 season signifies the 42nd season for the Nashville Sounds. It’s the 22nd season as a member of the 16- team Pacific Coast League, and the first as the Triple-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers. Despite the 42nd season as the Nashville Sounds, baseball’s roots in Nashville go back to the 19th Century. In fact, baseball has been played in Middle Tennessee since at least 1860, when the Republican Banner newspaper published a July 25th report on the game’s popularity the previous fall. During the Civil War, Union soldiers temporarily based here helped spread the game in the local community. Home field was a place known as the Sulphur Springs Bottom, a half-mile north of today’s state capitol. When the original Southern League was organized in 1885, Nashville was a charter city and games were played at Nashville’s Athletic Park, as the Sulphur Springs Bottom location came to be known. The city fielded several entries in the league over the next ten years -- the Americans (1885-86), the Blues (1887), the Tigers (1893-94), and the Seraphs (1895) -- but was unable to claim a pennant. When the Southern Association was formed in 1901, Athletic Park – which was later given the name Sulphur Dell by famed sportswriter Grantland Rice -- became the permanent home to the Nashville Volun- teers (or Vols, for short), who played there for the next 61 years. Under the guidance of manager Newt Fisher, the Nashville club won the SA’s first two pennants. The team, which was not known as the Vols until a “name the team” contest conducted prior to the 1908 season, continued to build a solid, loyal fan base.
