Apple History Lost
Was This An Accident?
Nashville, TN

After first shutting down their coed softball operations this Spring, the Apples saw another chapter of their storied history come to an end with this weeks burning of the teams former Headquarters and Training Facility.
The facility, located in the historic Germantown section of Nashville and which was recently put on the American Coed Softball Register of Historic Sites, was all but destroyed in the 3 alarm fire that rang out this week.
"If those walls could talk you would hear a a lot of screaming and swearing" said AGFHOF Don Bernitt when contacted following the blaze. "We took that building and those in it on a heck of a ride over the years" added former Apple Manager Dennis Miller as he struggled to hold back tears when told of the inferno that had swept through the former front offices of the Apples.
Although inconclusive, initial test show the fire perhaps starting in or near the upstairs office of former team owner and CEO John Beasley. One source close to the fire investigation who would only speak on the condition of anonymity, reported that he had heard multiple stories of hot air coming from Beasley's office over the years which may have led to the fire. However added the source, the amount of Bullshit that also came out of some team meetings should have dampened the ground and reduced the chances of this type of thing happening. Attempts to reach Beasley were unsuccessful both in Nashville and at his private resort in the Bahamas.
As has been said before, " You can take away our team and you can take our building, but you will never be able to take our cheer.."
