Tidbits work well with baseball

Thank The Lord for all the media folks who do research to provide informational bits to go with baseball broadcasts. How else would I have know that Greenville native and Clemson transfer Camden Troyer is the sixth of seven siblings, and all have attended Liberty University?

I'm not being sarcastic. I appreciate getting to know things about the athletes and their background.

Thanks to the Liberty U baseball announcer, although I didn't hear him identify himself while I was listening to Wednesday's game at UNC Wilmington while I was running some chores.
