A few weeks after Billy Wagner was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, Brad Pyott had his weekly lunch with his uncle, Jack Pyott.
During their lunch, the two Tazewell High School graduates discussed the recent achievement of their alma mater’s most famous alum. Jack told Brad he had recently been contacted by Roger Pike, another Tazewell graduate, who suggested that the Town of Tazewell recognize Wagner’s enshrinement.
