Father, Son First UM Fans to Arrive Front Row at Hoover Met

The first two Ole Miss fans to arrive at Hoover Met this morning were Redding Earp and his step-son Pepper Herd from Madison, Miss. They are sitting in the front row waiting for the Rebels to take on the Vanderbilt Commodores in an elimination round of the SEC Baseball Tournament.

Hotty Toddy, Pepper and Redding!

Earp is in medical sales in Madison. Herd plays little league and his favorite UM player is Sikes Orvis (or course). He said the best moment of the season so far was when he saved his mother from a line-drive hit by Colby Bortles!
