Shelbyville's Gary Bowen has a long-time association with Babe Ruth baseball.  This week, one of his all-time greatest honors associated with that sport is sending him on a World Series.

A man related to other honors for Bowen, his family and business, will provide an added attraction for Bowen’s World Series as tournament director.

Bowen says he was thrilled when he got the news.

Surrounded by baseball Bowen says he won’t get to see a lot of complete games but he can’t wait.
