Holloway was a great athlete who also played baseball at UT. One year, they were playing a game at ETSU and a friend of mine hit a single for the Bucs. He stole second and the pitch got past the catcher. Seeing the catcher picking up the baseball at the backstop, my friend asked Holloway, who was playing shortstop, what happened. Holloway told him it was a foul ball and my friend began to trot back to first. The catcher quickly, too quickly, fired to second, as my bewildered friend barely scrambled back to the base. Holloway just smiled.
