Nuts @ 66ers

Posted on May 27, 2014 by Edgar

The Modesto Nuts made a trip to San Bernardino to visit the 66ers. Yes, the Modesto Nuts. It’s probably the most odd team name in the California League.

Former big league pitcher Dave Burba, is the Nuts pitching coach. Dave has had that gig for the past few seasons now, but this was the first time that I was able to attend while he was in town.

Darrell Stuckey Autograph Signing

Posted on May 10, 2014 by Edgar

San Diego Charger Darrell Stuckey, made an appearance at The Optometry Practice of Dr. Alex Corbin Liu. I wasn’t able to attend but Dr. Liu did send me some pictures with a short recap.

Recap according to Dr. Liu

About 35 people showed up for the free signing. Darrell signed multiple items for fans and gave out a signed Bible testimonial card.

Darrell came with his wife and son and it was a great time. Overall one of my favorite events we’ve ever had because it was laid back. Darrell was very friendly and talkative to everyone. A very humble current Chargers captain with a new 4 year contract.
