West Nile Virus Found in Highland Park

Thanks to an alert Overheardian, this has been brought to our attention. While we work to develop the story, please keep away from pesky mosquitoes.

Stud Muffin

This was too good for me to pass up.

I headed out to Highland Park Village to ask shoppers their favorite Fourth of July traditions (check out the society page in next week’s Park Cities People). After speaking with a few women, I came across Barton, a native Dallasite and big time Dallas Country Club member.

Buyers Coming to the Park Cities?

This just in from the Dallas Morning News.  Maybe the hockey player will find a buyer for his house.

Scots Make All-State Baseball Team

Former Highland Park baseball players Seth Gardner and Joey Hainsfurther both were named to the Texas High School Baseball Coaches Association’s Class 4A All-State Team.

Gardner, who will play for Arkansas next year, earned a spot as a first-team outfielder, while Hainsfurther, a Baylor signee, was named a second-team shortstop.

The Scots broke the school record for wins in a season by finishing 35-8.

If it Weren’t For Bad Luck…

Former Scot Clayton Kershaw has pitched well in most of his seven Major League starts for the Los Angeles Dodgers since being called up from Double-A on May 24.

However, the lefty still doesn’t have a win to show for it. Yesterday in the City of Angels, Kershaw pitched four-plus innings, giving up two runs with four walks and three strikeouts. But the Dodgers were shut out, 2-0, by former Ranger John Danks and the Chicago White Sox.

Kershaw will try again on Tuesday night in Houston when he squares off with Wandy Rodriguez, who beat the Rangers last night.

Hard Times for Hockey Players?

A certain Dallas Stars’ player whose home has been on the market off and on for several years, recently reduced the asking price on his home by $26,000. Any Overheardians interested?   We’d be neighbors!
