Closer, ever closer to the new season.....

First off, fond farewell to Shawn Holliday, THE VOICE, radio-wise of this franchise for many years over two tours of duty. He has a perfect voice for the medium and a great memory for detail. He's the reason plently of people would listen to the game in the park. I'm really going to miss listening to him.
Another farewell to Bill Bulter, head groundskeeper last year, who really brought the field back into shape. Good Luck Bill with the Thunder!
On the promo front, the front office has a couple of interesting ones on tap. A fan can bid on him or herself on eBay for their own night at the park topped off by a giveaway of 1000 bobblehead figures fashioned in the winning bidder's likeless. Bidding is happening as I type.
Another unique promo links the release of the last Harry Potter book with a Harry Potter night at Dodd. Both are very clever promos.
On the player front we should be getting an idea soon of who is coming back, who is the new 'hot" player, etc.. Can't wait!
