North Florida Music Hall of Fame

Famed baseball player Tug McGraw was a pitcher for the Jacksonville Suns in 1966. He lived in Arlington in an apartment directly above Terry Parker High School student Betty Trimble. After Trimble had a fling with McGraw, she found herself pregnant and went to Stuart, La. to live with relatives. Trimble and McGraw’s son, Tim, was born in Delhi, La., in 1967. When Trimble returned to Jacksonville in the 1980s, Tim followed. He attended one term at Florida Community College at Jacksonville (FCCJ) and sat in occasionally with a few local bands. He bolted for Nashville in 1989. His father introduced him to Curb Records exec Mike Borchetta in 1994. At Curb, he would score a massive hit with “Indian Outlaw”; a string of hits followed.  Tim McGraw was voted No. 1 Male Vocalist by the Country Music Association in 1999, and is married to singer Faith Hill.
