Flaherty hit a (3-run) HR for the Braves tonight too.

Saw that; missed Flash's 3 run homer earlier. Good night for the VandyBraves!

I wish I could comprehend the improvement in hitting. I wish the VandyBoys could learn some of it.

That made me wonder where the whole Lt. Dans thing cam from. Here's what Dansby said in an interview two years ago with MiLB.com:

MiLB.com: So what's the story with your Twitter name? (@LieutenantDans7)

Swanson: I guess a pretty funny one. Freshman year I broke my foot and was on a scooter. I didn't have a Twitter, so I made one and we came up with it. It had a ring to it, it was funny. I was hurt at the time, I was rolling around on the scooter, so it made it fun. People loved it. (Editors' note: the name references the wheelchair-bound character Lieutenant Dan from the film "Forrest Gump").

Thanks, G2G...I had not heard that story...
