Mays said he called Paige, Sir. He was star struck with the pitcher and his first at bat against him was memorable. Paige told Mays he would deliver 3 fast balls. During the third and last pitch Paige said aloud, Take a seat! Mays struck out. The beginning of a great friendship. Thanks, Jeff!

Always! I finally had lunch that day close to 2:30 pm before heading to my two other locations (Truman farm house and the Mt. Moriah Cemetery stops). Hopefully you got to see those videos too!

I took a trip to Tennessee in 2020, the humidity was brutal. You have my respect out there in that heat, and humidity. Very interesting cemetery, lots of history there. No matter opinion or side of the Civil War, it is part of history that we can't change or erase. People who take down statues will be the cause of repeating history. Really enjoyed watching this video. Thank you for sharing, take care Jeff. 🇺🇲

The Truman gravesite is fascinating. I agree with your reasoning on the grandeur of the stone there - definitely looks 1940’s. I grew up knowing of Satchel Paige. He made quite an impression on my Dad-I learned of him while my Dad taught me how to throw and catch a baseball. Wow! This was great!

I am a native Georgian & although I have lived here my entire life(67), the heat & humidity still gets to me. I asked my parents what they did when it got so hot & they said, stay in the shade & wear your arms out waving funeral home fans. They were raised on farms where they picked cotton & grew all kinds of vegetables, along with pigs, chickens & cows. They did not have it easy either. No inside plumbing, no central heating or electricity. They heated the house with a fireplace & cooked on a wood stove. So I feel for you in the heat. Stay hydrated.

Hi Jeff, Just wanted to be sure to tell you to stay hydrated on those hot trips. My favorite part of the vlog was J C. Hall. On my next trip to Hallmark I will remind them of their 100th Birthday. Thanks so much for the education every Sunday.

You have inspired me to get out and find the history all around us. I found a Civil War Medal of Honor recipient in a cemetery 5 minutes from me. I had no idea he was there. It’s crazy how much history is just forgotten.

Hio jeff, YES i enjoyed your diverse history taking us through the cemetary.... and sorry you had to sweat so badly. it is humid here also in oklahoma at times. texas as you know can be hot as well. I'am from the EAST coast line and weather there can be hot and humid to. I thought california was hot and humid but i guess the air is different there. I did not know the baseball player satchel paige was buried in that cemetary thats interesting to know, but seems like from that area to the east coast line is filled with confederate graves, i have family buried in upper part of VA they were in the confed war. they died of disease. sorry you had to sweat so badly there. thankyou for the hard work it is appreciated by me. Take care.

I live in the Illinois suburbs of St. Louis and I agree that the heat and humidity can be brutal in the Midwest and South. I sometimes wish that the air was drier here like how it is in the West, but the tradeoff is that the humidity and resulting rain here in the Midwest and South gives us a lush green landscape. I prefer that over the largely brown, unvegetated, and unwooded areas common in the desert areas of the West. My favorite time of the year weatherwise in this part of the country is the last half of September and the first half of October as the weather tends to be brisk to warm with lower humidity and plenty of sunshine. October also coincides with peak fall color season.

Many notables in this cemetery. I hated history classes in school, but you make it so much more enjoyable to learn through your videos. I have seen every one of them and always look forward to seeing you on Sundays. Thanks, Jeff, and keep up the good work!

You bring back thoughts of my own family history. Jesse James: My great grandma's family apparently had their land taken from them by the government in order to "flush" Jesse out. Secondly, my husband's family is related to former governor Burns from Hawaii. His grave marker is small as well. He wanted no special treatment or fanfare. A man of the people. A great career though being a point to bring Hawaii into statehood. This would be a great HH episode if you get to Oahu. It was also suggested that he was part of the inspiration for McGarrett on Hawaii 5-0. I look forward to learning more about all of our family history. Thank you for your passion and education! My dad was a high school history teacher with a great knowledge and passion too! Guess that is where I get it!

Thank you. :)

Another terrific program. Thank you for your work. I love history so I watch your channel often as you know. I wouldn't spend too much time showing disagreement with the Confederate graves. I in no way agree with Socialist Democrat Slavery or Segregation. These folks were American's who had different values and ideas than the rest of us. Some families were split in two. Friendships ended. It was bad. We got through it and we learned from it. As American's they have to be buried somewhere. Also as American's it shows we have a lot of pride and backbone. Buck O'Neil and Satchel Paige, Mr Hall, The Truman family and a Supreme Court Justice are in the same place as Confederate Soldiers. They all have their own place there and their own story. No other country in the world would have a resting place like this. We should be proud. I know I am. I mean, look up Socialist Democrat former President Woodrow Wilson. We have a bridge named after him. There is an area in Virginia off of I81 for him. He is buried in the Washington Cathedral. He was a segregationist. Former US Senator Socialist Democrat Robert Byrd who was a member of the KKK and best friends with the 46th and current President of the United States. Matter of fact, Joe Biden spoke at Byrd's funeral and said Byrd was a great man. A KKK member a great man? That's what Socialist Democrat Biden said. Byrd is buries in Arlington, Virginia at Columbia Gardens Cemetery. There are some notable people there if you look it up. All buried in the same place as a member of the KKK. And down the street from one of the most sacred places in America. Arlington National Cemetery.

Always always enjoy your very informative and interesting subject matter. Cemeteries are so interesting to bring out history you never heard of. Thanks a lot.
