Wow! First off, let me just say that the Sand Gnats staff (Kathy, Lauren, and Brad) are the best! Thanks to a team effort, the Tour for the Cure was able to raise a good amount of money for the Jimmy Fund on Easter Sunday. Due to the holiday, a little less than 1,000 witnessed […]
The winter weather has overstayed its welcome. Today’s game temperature hovered in the mid 40s and was accompanied by some mean winds.
