When Smokies Park becomes a haven of die hard fans with a reputation as widely held as "General Bob Neyland Stadium" and "Shield Watkins Field" and the river boats gather, then Smokies baseball will be over the top.
It will not be a Rocky Top. It will be smooth as silk sailing as the hills of Tennessee reverberate with Dolly's singing and melodies echoing from all the Smokey Mountain Tops.
Is there a Smokies fan available to send me some information about your Team, your Stadium and your City if so send it along and let me post it for the world to enjoy.

Interesting part of American and Tennessee history with a often never told story of the Native Americans who lived on our Lands before our Declaration of Independence from England/The British.
During the administration of U.S. President Martin Van Buren, nearly 17,000 Cherokees—along with approximately 2,000 black slaves owned by Cherokees—were uprooted from their homes between 1838 and 1839 and were forced by the U.S. military to march from "emigration depots" in Eastern Tennessee (such as Fort Cass) toward the more distant Indian Territory west of Arkansas.
During this relocation an estimated 4,000 Cherokees died along the way west. In the Cherokee language, the event is called Nunna daul Isunyi—"the Trail Where We Cried."
The Cherokees were not the only Native Americans forced to emigrate as a result of the Indian removal efforts of the United States, and so the phrase "Trail of Tears" is sometimes used to refer to similar events endured by other Native American peoples, especially among the "Five Civilized Tribes". The phrase originated as a description of the earlier emigration of the Choctaw nation.
