Benjamin HillPANELIST
So we go all the way back to July 19th.
Benjamin HillPANELIST
The Hickory Crawdads are hosting the Wilson Warbirds, who scored six runs in the top of the first inning before a thunderstorm resulted in the game's postponement.
Benjamin HillPANELIST
When the game was postponed, with the Warbirds up 6-0 in the top of the first, shortstop Brady Ebel, the 11th batter of the inning, was enjoying his second at-bat of the inning, and he was up to the bat with two outs and a 2-0 count.
Benjamin HillPANELIST
That's where they called it.
Benjamin HillPANELIST
The game resumed on August 25th.
Benjamin HillPANELIST
Now the game is no longer in Hickory.
Benjamin HillPANELIST
It is in Wilson Ballpark, home of the Warbirds, because those teams were not playing in Hickory again.
Benjamin HillPANELIST
And Brady Ebel.
Brice PaterikHOST
But the Rangers in their single A affiliates, both of their regular seasons are done.
Brice PaterikHOST
One of their teams is in the postseason in the Hickory Crawdads.
Brice PaterikHOST
Huge shout out to the Hickory Crawdads, who I believe have a game tonight, game three, which would be the first of, I think, two different.
Brice PaterikHOST
post-season series.
Brice PaterikHOST
They lost the first game at one, the second game last night, and so tonight should be the deciding factor of if they move on or not.
Brice PaterikHOST
Hickory had a fantastic season.
Brice PaterikHOST
A couple prospects having a truly excellent year.
Brice PaterikHOST
Two 19-year-olds, both at premium defensive positions, who looked absolutely outstanding this year.
Keith DyerHOST
Sorry, we got cut off.
Keith DyerHOST
I was asking you about your shirt saying Hickory.
Keith DyerHOST
You said it doesn't mean anything? Doesn't mean anything.
Keith DyerHOST
Yep.
Keith DyerHOST
Just a random shirt I saw somewhere.
Keith DyerHOST
I'm just curious because there's a town here in North Carolina called Hickory that makes a lot of furniture.
Keith DyerHOST
And I used to work in that industry doing marketing and things of that nature.
Keith DyerHOST
So I was just curious.
Patrick EatonNARRATOR
The most helpful were books of travel, newspapers and periodicals, statistics of southern states, and the United States Census Reports.

CHAPTER I.
Kristy Woodson HarveyHOST
I think I've heard from a lot of them.
Kristy Woodson HarveyHOST
Um, then the 16th I'm in Hickory and Raleigh, North Carolina, the 17th in Davidson and Monroe, North Carolina, the 18th in Sneeds Ferry and Oceanel Beach, North Carolina.
Kristy Woodson HarveyHOST
And then the 19th and 20th is the big Peachtree Bluff town takeover in Beaufort.
Kristy Woodson HarveyHOST
We're doing double decker bus tours, a lunch at Beaufort grocery, um, a cocktail party on the grounds of the historic sites and a little mimosa party on Sunday.
AnnieHOST
She said, we've got big mulch piles and wood piles, firewood and stuff.
AnnieHOST
The house was a small brick rental at 2121st Avenue Northwest in Hickory, North Carolina, a town of 40,000 people in the foothills of the Blue Ridge, an hour northwest of Charlotte.
AnnieHOST
Firefighters arrived expecting a woodpile blaze.
AnnieHOST
What they found was a fire in a mound of mulch near the driveway, small and easily put out.
AnnieHOST
Someone had poured gasoline into a Chevrolet Tahoe parked near the end of the drive, but nothing was seriously damaged and no one was hurt.
AnnieHOST
Okay.
AnnieHOST
Because the fire had been clearly set, the Hickory police were called, and an officer arrived at around 5.30 in the morning.
KendallHOST
I love the word Hickory.
Josh NorrisHOST
Flash forward two years from now.
Josh NorrisHOST
Let's go to Hickory, North Carolina.
Josh NorrisHOST
You could have three of them in the same rotation.
Josh NorrisHOST
Aniel Lopez with the Rangers throws.
Josh NorrisHOST
He's up to 99, and I wouldn't be surprised if he can get to 100.
Josh NorrisHOST
Figuereo, and then by then, Brody Bumila might be back.
Josh NorrisHOST
So if you have to say nothing, I think Gio Rojas might be past Hickory at that point, but you could have three left-handers throwing 100 miles an hour in the same minor league rotation, which if that comes to fruition, I can't imagine that's ever happened.
JJ CooperHOST
I'll just put it in perspective.
Boo CarlisleGUEST
So about a few, I don't know, two, three weeks later, we were in North Carolina.

Boo CarlisleGUEST

Dave NevilleGUEST
He's our West Coast guy.
Dave NevilleGUEST
And then we signed JT Poston, who's from Hickory, North Carolina, and he's our East Coast guy because we have a big operation here in Raleigh, which I'm broadcasting to you from Raleigh.
Dave NevilleGUEST
So we have a lot of people who are in California, but we have a lot of people... north carolina um as well so one of the things we saw that that's interesting is that in our econ business we're successful across the country actually our number one econ state last year was texas so a lot of people wouldn't think johnny o doing really well in texas north carolina was number two florida and georgia number three and four and then california so we really had this kind of mix of east coast and west coast on the sales as well and certain Other brands, they're really good on the East Coast.
Dave NevilleGUEST
You don't see them on the West Coast.
RyanGUEST
They see the same classrooms, the same hallways, and they see a school.
RyanGUEST
I grew up in Hickory.
RyanGUEST
I graduated from this high school.
RyanGUEST
For four years of my life, I saw this as nothing but a school.
15 MINS LATER
GracieGUEST
The Holy Spirit is always pointing us to a greater revelation of who Jesus is.
GracieGUEST
And when you know Jesus, you want to tell people about him because people talk about their passions.
GracieGUEST
Since moving to Hickory, I have never met so many people who are so passionate about preparing for just one inch of snow.
GracieGUEST
Now I'm from Minnesota, and where I'm from, there is snow on the ground for many months out of the year.
