‘Picking up Butch’ On ESPN Tuesday Night
Click on this image for a short preview of the segment
ESPN’s show E:60 will run a segment on the 50th anniversary of the tradition of bringing Butch Varno, a local man with cerebral palsy, to basketball and football games. Basketball players give him a ride to football games and football players perform the opposite favor.
Middlebury’s best sports fan has also earned recognition in various other media outlets, including Sports Illustrated (during that magazine’s best days, if I may say so myself).
Tune in to ESPN at 7 p.m. Tuesday night to watch the segment.
Update: You can watch the segment in its entirety here, and let me say these 12 minutes are absolutely worth your time.
