Garrison Keillor, right, will bring “A Prairie Home Companion: America the Beautiful Tour” to Memorial Auditorium on Sunday. Behind him is Rich Dworsky, the show’s master pianist.LISA DENTON: Barry, I don’t remember exactly where you fall in the Courter clan, but I know it’s somewhere in the middle. So the promotion tonight at the Chattanooga Lookouts game should be one you’d turn out for. You and Jan Brady.
It’s Middle Child Appreciation Night. Apparently, there’s a national observance, no doubt started by these overlooked mid kids, and minor-league ballparks are helping to celebrate.
BARRY COURTER: It’s about time we had our day. Sandwiched as we are between the ber-spoiled firstborn and the can-do-no-wrong baby in the family.
Bitter? Me? Nah. I had it pretty good. We all did, actually, in Casa de Courter, but that’s a clever and unusual promotion the minor leaguers are doing.
LISA: Of course, if firstborns are in charge of posting pictures to the electronic scoreboard at AT&T Field, they’ll all be of Marcia, Marcia, Marcia. Which seems perversely fitting.
