Music at Bowers Harbor Park? Amazing! Back in the day, the Peninsula Redeyes opted out of their usual Sunday afternoon baseball game for some live music at the park. The result was the police raided the place, a fracas ensued, and a whole bunch of people got arrested, resulting in a large trial that lasted for months. It made national news, and I even heard about it on Paul Harvey’s national radio show. Why was it so wrong then and so right now? My, how times have changed.

Is there a calendar for who will be playing the rest of the summer?
Updated! Thanks, Ginny.
The band that played was Stickfish. The members were Doug Clep, Roland Woodring, and 2 others. Doug moved to Chicago to play, and then Dallas to play. He has resided in Dallas ever since. He has never revisited this town, partly due to the arrest. He was the lead guitarist. I, Jeff Lardie, also born and raised on the Peninsula, married Doug’s sister. We remember having to come up with $1,000 CASH to bail out all 4 men. What was minimum wage? $2.30? It was a lot of money.
Thanks for filling in some info, Jeff. We’re working on a story about the fracas – thanks for the picture you sent along of you and Web. I think it’s the only one I’ve seen of the Redeyes.
