Grisham-Ferriss reunite

 

    34-years after hearing the news he would no longer be pursuing his dream as a collegiate baseball player for the Statesmen, legendary coach Dave “Boo” Ferriss presented John Grisham with a jersey marking his return to Delta State’s campus on Monday.
    Quoted several times as “A night 34 years in the making,” Monday’s program, John Grisham on American Treasures: Books, Baseball & Boo, had a huge turnout as people poured in from around the state to see Grisham and Coach Dave “Boo” Ferriss reunite.
