Dugout Digest – independence

Instead of my usual look at the night that was in the DD opening, I'm starting out differently. Today in America, it's Independence Day, or as it's more commonly known, the Fourth of July. The most common activities on the Fourth include drinking, grilling, and having a grand ol' time. And that's our right. But […]
