Go ahead. Tell Mike Marshall he’s crazy. Tell him he can’t reinvent a sport more tightly tied to tradition than an Amish wedding. Tell him he can’t change an idea that’s been in every coach’s mind since Abner Doubleday was knee high to a grasshopper. Read More
Three Generations of Craftsmanship Three Generations of Craftsmanship
The aged front door opens roughly. Nika, the shop’s mascot, looks up from her lunch-time bone briefly in acknowledgement.
