About

R.G. Yoho was born in West Virginia, but lives in Ohio with his wife, children, and a nephew. Recently, his son and daughter-in-law presented him and his wife with their first grandchild.

Recently being given a severance following 25 years in the plastics industry, R.G. has been a freelance writer for years in a number of fields.

The author of three books, R.G. has published three Western novels: "Long Ride to Yesterday", Death Comes to Redhawk", and my newest release, "Death Rides the Rail."

But throughout it all, R.G. has been a life-long, West Virginia Mountaineers fan.

    Sitting in the stands and watching West Virginia's Major Harris score the touchdown against Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions in 1988.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    1984 West Virginia/Boston College Football Game. It was Doug Flutie's senior season, the year he won the Heisman. Just before halftime, Flutie threw a pass to put the Eagles up 20-6. But the Mountaineers held them scoreless the entire second half and won 21-20. My dad and I were there together on the 50-yard line. What a game! And Flutie, as great as he was, never did beat us in a football game!

    Hi RG

    Here is the sixth installment of my Cooperstown’s Best series, rating the shortstops. This will be my final “blast” for these articles. It makes me feel cheap to pimp my articles, so I gotta stop it. Take a look if you can.
