Former Arkansas Executive Bill Valentine Dies At 82

He was the larger-than-life figure who greeted generations of Arkansas Travelers fans at the gates of Ray Winder Field wearing suspenders and handing out scorecards. He was the umpire who ejected Earl Weaver and Mickey Mantle. He was the man who brought Rosco Stidman, Captain Dynamite, midget wrestlers and Clunker Car Night to Little Rock.
