One of minor league baseballs oldest and shabbiest stadiums might be going away soon, but Nashvilles Herschel Greer stadium has an amazing charm and a fascinating music-related history, starting with the great (and former Okie) Conway Twitty. An oaken-voiced crooner with a concrete perm, this Music Row fixture had dreams of a Twitty empire. In the early 70s, he started a short-lived fast food chain with the unfortunate name of Twitty Burger, and in the 80s would go on to found Twitty City, an entertainment complex and Christmas village just north of town. Unable to resist the lure of minor league ball, Twitty become a majority shareholder, bringing a few of his Opry friends along for the party. After that, Owens said, Things went fast. It went wild fast.
