21 Pax dodged the rain and puddles to post at Field of Dreams this morning. YHC used to be a FOD regular. YHC even started the FOD Twitter handle, that’s how tight they were!

There remained, however, an underlying current of optimism amid the groggy remains from the weekend. [Read More]

The men refused to leave anyone alone. Just awesome. The Warmup Pledge of Allegiance at the flag. [Read More]
