Posted on 03. Jul, 2010 by Corey in All, Dayton Dragons Baseball, General Baseball.
When the Dayton Dragons players and staff enter the locker room for tonights game against the Great Lakes Loons, they will find something new in their lockers. Â I have placed a new hat in their for every member to wear during tonights game in honor of the Fourth of July and to help raise money for the Veterans.
Although the hats have been out for view for around a week, I have done my best to keep this under wraps as a secret and surprise for the players. Â Visit the store to purchase your own!!
Here is the official press release:
