MARK HUMPHREY ENTERPRISE-LEADER/Carroll Ray C.R. Bell (left) and Peachtree Village Activities Coordinator Lisa McCoy celebrate with cookies and snacks during a reception held in his honor at Farmington s Peachtree Village Friday afternoon. Bell was inducted into the Arkansas Softball Hall of Fame on July 2 at North Little Rock.
FARMINGTON Peachtree activities coordinator Lisa McCoy skillfully replicated a game situation when she handed newly inducted Arkansas Softball Hall-of-Famer Carroll Ray Bell a miniature bat and steered him toward a pinata. We re going to let you have the first swing, McCoy said as Bell gripped the miniature baseball bat and worked up his approach while sizing up the baseball pinata dangling from a string in the center of a reception held in his honor July 9 at Farmington s Peachtree Village, a retirement and assisted living facility.
