At the Wellsville HOF Induction Ceremonies each candidate
selects someone special to present them.
Each of this year’s presenters all had very good introduction speeches. Some
of them are exceptional in our opinion such as Murph Burns. There is nothing more heartwarming than a
proud daddy talking about his little girl.
Murph even had us with watery eyes when he spoke about daughter
Gabrielle. It was very touching and
obviously very sincere. It was close to
being the best in our opinion.
Our vote for the best presentation had to be the one given
by Davey Carter. Carter presented former
Wellsville neighbor Jared Mike. Carter
got to know Mike simply because he had a basketball hoop in the driveway at his
home. He didn’t go to school with him,
didn’t formerly coach him and wasn’t even close to his age. He did spend many a Sunday afternoon taking
on the gangly youth, one-on-one, in his driveway.
His introduction was well thought out, humorous and
entertaining. We’re glad we were able to
hear it.
