invitation from the La Crosse Loggers and the Heroes of the Diamond
organizations to perform their comedy routine on July 24, 2010 before

L.A.
All-Sports Film Festival Recap
Moviemakers, bobble head doll trophies and
Hank Lucas back in a Dodger Stadium-oh what a weekend it was!
Joe Scherrman and Hank jetted off to LA for the Second-annual, LA
All-Sports Film Festival that was held at Raleigh Studios in Hollywood.
DreamCatcher Productions hired, Dubuque-born/now Hollywood actor, Rob
Cunliffe to promote the film by wearing one of the Ghost Player
uniforms and passing out a few hundred copies of the lenticular
postcard with screening details on the back.
At the festival, Ghost Player took second place in the documentary
judging and may end up with a distribution deal.
The trip also included the Dodgers and Cubs, and a run-in with NCIS Los
Angeles. Read all about
it...

Patriot
Night: The Sequel
MA2 Jesse Trail, USN and Nick Vetter.

They
say a sequel is never as good as the first time, but Keith Rahe,
founder and manager of the Ghost Players, made sure everyone had a
great time.
The ghost's were back at Jenk Field at the Dyersville Commercial Club
Park as were the US Military All Stars' baseball team. The stands held
friends, family and fans from near and far -- all eager to celebrate
the brave, the loyal, and the free. Those Heroes of the Diamond are
truly heroes in our hearts.
If you weren't able to be there, find out what
you missed...

Remembering
William Scherrman
Thank you to all of you
who have extended your best wishes and remembrances for William
Scherrman. He lived a long life and will be missed by those who knew
and loved him. He was a great supporter of the Ghost Players and of our
movie.
William P. Scherrman, 90.

"I
was surprised when Keith Rahe, the guru of the Ghost Players, asked me
to throw out the first pitch at Patriot Night at the Ball Park. Keith
has a special part in his heart for his father, as I do for mine. When
I was walking out to the mound, I heard the announcers Coach Rima and
Matt Wagner (Harry Carey) give tribute to my father serving his
country. I was in tears and oh, so proud and thankful to Keith, his
family, and mine and to all the Ghost Players for giving me the time of
my life.
I
had a catch with my Dad at the Field of Dreams back in the 90s. Before
he died, he told me he was proud of the things the Ghost Players have
done and proud of me. It doesn't get any better than that." -Joe
Scherrman
