The way Greg Schulte remembers it, his tiny hometown of Silvis, Ill., was so small, it wasn’t big enough for a kid to get into any kind of trouble. But it had everything a young boy could want.
And it all led to tonight (Wednesday night), when Schulte will call his 3,000th game in the Diamondbacks booth in San Diego against the Padres.
In Silvis, there was the soda fountain parlor on the corner, the ice cream shop down the block, a bike store somewhere in the middle and of course, a baseball field at the park.
