Blue Moon over the Carolinas becomes all sunshine and roses when your new stadium showcases a baseball team located out of the city traffic ready for "play ball" action. Its nothing but full speed ahead for the Mudcats stirring mud in the creeks and sending dust into the brisk breezes all along Tobacco Road.

Carolina Moon or Blue Moon one thing for sure the Carolina country does not have full dibs on the Moon. As a youngster growing up in Alabama looking up at the Big Bright Moon hanging so beautiful in the night sky thoughts of a sweetheart would dawn.

You haven't really lived if you have never felt this:

"I see the moon, the moon sees me,
under the leaves of the old oak tree.
May the moon that shines on me,
shine on the one I love."

The Carolina Mudcats play baseball flat-out like a flat head Ford roadster cruising at warp speed thru the Carolina mountain roads with a full load of "Shine."

Tobacco Road folks might enjoy their game of basketball with the Blue Devils, Tarheels, N.C.State and the Deacons but baseball is the Mudcats sport of the good ole summertime.

Come on watch my ripples and follow my wake you Southern League partners for the Mudcats have started to rule the pool with the Marlins on patrol and doing the scouting.

The Mudcats swim out in the clear waters at Five County Stadium in the fresh air and beauty of the North Carolina open country. Being the most northern site of the Southern League gives the Mudcats an advantage of looking south while on the top.

My cap is tipped for the Carolina Mudcats ownership for one of the most profound and heart warming thoughts provided by their vision statement which is provided here.

Vision Statement

To excel in the Magic of Baseball, provide a positive atmosphere for families to escape to a sparkling venue that provides creature comforts that enhance quality time together. We must protect our image of America’s pastime and present innovative, affordable, quality experiences that will be passed to future generations. To take the lead in community involvement and give back with charitable acts and remember above all, it is about the kids.

If Zebulon has not been entered into your iteneray slate then it is time to get with the program. Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina when the Ump cries play ball at Five County Stadium.
