There's More Than Baseball Going On at Greer Stadium 1 CAPITOL 5A every time the teams change sides. Among the top attractions last season were the San Diego Chicken, Used Car Night (when nine used auto: mobiles were given away) and Martha the Fris-bee-catching dog. Enough baseball equipment has been given away to supply dozens of Little League teams. And then there are the wrist bands, tote bags, gym bags, ponchos, baseballs, uniform shirts, batting gloves, jackets, bats, helmets and t-shirts. "We believe if we can get the mothers and children here that we'll be a success.

The fathers are going to come anyway," said the former Vander-bilt baseball coach. "And as for the kids. Well, kids still have heroes." 1 By KEN BECK THERE'S no doubt that the national pastime is firmly embedded in the hearts of Middle Tennesseans. Three record-breaking seasons of attendance at Greer Stadium are proof of that. And when baseball fans flock to watch the Nashville Sounds, Music City's Class AA Southern League affiliate of the New York Yankees, they know they're going to get their money's worth, plus some.

"OUR BASIC philosophy is to offer family-oriented entertainment," said Larry Schmittou, the club's president and general manager. "We've tried to copy a University of Tennessee-type written a script without interfering with the game. "The game will always be the main event. We'd do nothing to cheapen it, but in the idle moments we've created a circuscarnival-like atmosphere. The script has been created with good taste to get the crowd involved.

Every half-inning something is planned." The fans evidently like the script Schmittou and his crew have co-authored because in the first two seasons 918,195 people clicked through the turnstiles. 1980 was an even bigger year as the Sounds drew 575,676 hot dog loving, cracker jack munching, peanut cracking, popcorn chomping baseball enthusiasts. Last month the club was awarded the Larry MacPhail Trophy for the second time in three years. The prestigious honor goes to the top franchise in minor league baseball.
