Entirely possible- his name is Zecola.

He also used to hunt for 4 leaf clovers during batting practice to sell to guys from NYC who couldn’t easily find their own. That tells you something about field maintenance at Siena and SUNY Binghamton (DIII at the time- home of our New York Summer Collegiate League team). You shouldn’t have clover patches in your outfield.

I couldn't help but hear the "Ricola" cough drop jingle in my head.

Congrats to Siena on their first win. They hammered Army on the road.

Good news: the rain should be done around dawn.

Bad news: we should get another inch by dawn.

Wilson Field should be OK. The entire field was remade in 2021 with artificial turf everywhere except the outfield, plus they improved the drainage system throughout. They don't even use tarps anymore.

Might still start on time. Left can still get a bit boggy.

Easy to see why there was so much buzz about Cider. He was good in the early game and just got a 2-out RBI to give us the early lead in Game 2.
