Very well deserved. I feel like it could have happened years ago.

Without doing the research to dig up some old interviews, I'll guess that Smith decided long ago to commit to the community of Elizabethton, rather than pursue ambition by moving around. He's close to retirement age, but has he given indication of how long he wants to remain employed? He's an example of someone who could be hurt if organized baseball decided to contract the minor leagues - the Appy League is on the chopping block, if I recall correctly.
