High School Baseball

Our high school baseball coach was a true student of the game of baseball. Oren Prentice "Piggy" Mitchell was the original "The Thinker" as it relates to baseball and how to play with winning strategies. Hewitt-Trussville high school for many many years would play John Carroll high school in baseball. The competitive spirit and one upsmanship between these two high school coaches was a thing from which memories are so fondly reflected upon. Piggy Mitchell was the coach at Hewitt-Trussville and Tom Banks Sr. was the legendary coach for John Carroll. Our home and home games were played at Lane Park in Homewood for John Carrolls' home field and at Trussville for Hewitts' home field.
