 Eric
Hanover on
the DIRTBAG
Experience
Our time
with the Dirtbags has
been full of
many
wonderful
adventures
and joys.
I'll start
with the
tryout. It
was at Elon
University,
and Tyler
had this
head full of
curly hair
stuffed
under a
baseball
cap, he was
quite the
sight. You
have to know
my son, he's
5-foot
nothing and
a buck
thirty at
best at the
time. I'm
sitting
around a few
parents and
things start
up. Out on
the field
are the
likes of
Kyle Seager,
Dustin
Ackley, Ryan
Morris,
Addison
Johnson, Tim
Smalling,
and that
beast Kyle
Roller. [more...]

on this team as well as playing for
