By Norm O: I’m often asked what it’s like in the clubhouse. Over the next couple of posts I will walk you through a day in the life of a clubby. This is what a typical day looked like when I was in Lancaster: 8am-2pm- Usually, I would have the home towels in the dryer…
By Mitch Maldonado: San Francisco Giant: 2012 World Series Champions. That sentence is still hard to read. I was born and bred a Dodgers fan, true and blue. Despite growing up in the Pacific Northwest, I knew where my allegiance was, with the boys in blue. As young as I am (24 years old), being…
