Championship Fastpitch proudly presents Larry Ray, November 17th, in Ashland, Kentucky.

Coach Ray is regarded as the "godfather" of slap-hitting and his insights on baserunning on how to play the short-game have been instrumental parts in the development of some of Arizona's top players.

Re: Larry Ray, Univ. of Arizona, Clinic in Ashland

Yeah Thats where I was going to send him if he was traveling thru portsmouth --I would actually recommend the steak instead of the ribs . The ribs are country style pork cuts , not like baby backs. But the ribeyes are out of the this world. Don't order the large it's 1/2 a cow . MD

Re: Larry Ray, Univ. of Arizona, Clinic in Ashland

also my DD is a 12 so it's the early time slot for us . As far as dining out in the ashland area you will have to go some other route other than BBq , as far I know we are BBq poor in the area. Extremely fine world class affordable Italian dining 20 min up the road in Ceredo wv at Roccos's. Mexican in ashland at La Finca is very good . MD

Factoryrat, Rocco is my brother-in-law. You wont go wrong. Get there before 5:30 or so and the wait will be short. Best Italian food I have ever eaten, including NY and Chicago. Ask to speak to Rocco and tell him Rod said to take care of another softball brother in arms! I reccommend the Fruta Del Mar ( fruits of the sea) in a cream sauce. Lots of seafood over pasta!

Re: Larry Ray, Univ. of Arizona, Clinic in Ashland

I agree totally with the Dusters coach , I've dined in little italy in Chicago , lived in birmingham, al. and been fortunate to travel all across the world. Nothing has been as good as Rocco's. He is quite the character also. Was kind enough to email me the mushroom apppitizer recipe ..but I'm sure he left out something ! I've been dining there with my wife since we started dating in 1986 ! It's our most special place . MD (man did we hijack this thread )

Re: Larry Ray, Univ. of Arizona, Clinic in Ashland

Dusters coach and ManitouDan,thanks for all the info.Carraba`s in canton is where DW and I go for Italian and its good for a chain,but we are looking foward to Rocco`s.MD we might be a little off topic but good eats and softball kinda go together. factoryrat
