Tn cacher: Greetings from Geocaching.com.

It looks like your cache has been under the weather for some time. While we feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can't do so forever. So that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location. Also, if you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.
If you are in the process of replacing or repairing your cache please e-mail me in response to this archival, and I will unarchive your cache.
After we posted a note to you cache requesting a response from you to post what you were planning to do with the cache on the page and sending us a note. We have no record of a response, and no response tells us that you are not planning on replacing, or repairing this cache if we are wrong with that assumption please let me know.
I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Mr. Horace “Hod” Lisenbee was a Clarksville native born in 1898. He played professional baseball for the Senators, Red Sox, Philadelphia A's and the Cincinnati Reds. As a rookie in 1927 he was 18-9 with the Washington Senators and had a league leading four shutouts. He beat the New York Yankee's "murder's row" five times that year and gave up Babe Ruth's 58th home run on his way to 60. His rookie year was his best year. He pitched 969 career innings and retired in 1942. He came back with Syracuse of the International League in 1944 and pitched a no-hitter at the age of 45.

Hod Lisenbee was also player/manager and half owner of the Clarksville Colts Kitty league team in 1946-48. (visit link) During the ’48 season he bought the remaining half of the team. Hod fooled many a young batter in the Kitty league with a unique windup style. He would windmill both the pitching hand and the gloved hand, often in opposite directions. He would then move into the pitch and follow through, catching the batter unaware, flatfooted, and off balance. While he was still pitching this move was declared illegal and constituting a balk.

Lisenbee continued to live in Clarksville until his death in 1987. He was elected to the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame in 1969.
