Tom Monroe
FameRank: 6

"Tom Monroe" is a champion of virtually all flying disc sports, including ultimate, freestyle, field events and especially disc golf.

In 1973, Tom Monroe was in Atlanta for the summer working in order to earn money to re-enroll in college at the University of North Alabama in Florence. That year Wham-O held nationwide frisbee events called "The Great Frisbee Fly In" in conjunction with radio stations all across America. Tom had played frisbee with his roommate in college and could throw pretty well for playing catch and doing a few tricks, so the time had come to test his skills. Hundreds of people showed up for the competition at Grant Park, with events for distance and accuracy. Tom won both events.

We hit the ball hard, we had a couple dribble through. Everything just went right in the fourth. It was one of those we've had go the other way, so we know how they feel.

It was the best baseball game we've been in all year. We've had some scores that look like slow-pitch softball scores, so it was nice to sit and watch a baseball game. Win or lose, to be in a 3-1 game was good for the kids.

Our kids started out 1-11, now we're 5-11. They're starting to grow up and feel good about themselves, and they're looking forward to the second half of the season.

We're really pleased. It's amazing how much the winter storm patterns have changed from this time last year. Now, let's just hope for the best for the rest of the season.

They can't harvest the grapes until they are ready. They can't try to pick them early, the crop wouldn't be able to go to market.

Everybody helped in that inning. He walked 'em, the other kids kicked 'em around. It was teamwork.

We weren't ready to play. We let the three good Niles players do what they wanted. They blew us out in the first half, but we played better in the third quarter. Remember, Niles is very good.
