Sawyer Corn has played baseball since he was 3, and he dreams of going as far in the sport as the playing field will take him. He has always loved the game and now has an opportunity to play in college.
Corn is a junior at Christian Heritage School, which is following the lead of Major League Baseball by promoting home cities on jerseys through the City Connect program. For Christian Heritage, that means promoting Dalton’s history as Carpet City.
Corn said the city concept was Athletic Director Mike Roby’s idea. He wanted to do something Christian Heritage had never done before.
“It’s something that, like, not a lot of teams get to do,” Corn said in a phone interview about the initiative. “We’re really fortunate to have something like this.”
