Answer: It's the 'Orzy Way'!

Happy opening day of high school baseball practice. To celebrate, this junior Dirtbag got some work in the snow before school.
Remember there's no such thing as bad practice weather. Just bad practice gear.
Layer up. Get lathered. Stay happy.

The 2020 season has been one helluva a ride. Like the first spin on a ferris wheel set up in a dollar store parking lot at night.
So, it is with great relief and gratitude that we close the book on a particularly unforgettable run by the Dirtbags.
Stay safe and mask up!

Looking for a summer catcher to replace a 3 year beast behind the dish.
Must enjoy bruises and seam marks, sweating profuously, and managing the fragile mental state of pitchers.
Good flow is a bonus. Plus, the last guy could hit a ton.
Sane people need not apply.
