It really is hard to beat a summer night at a baseball game. And when you can see the Sturgeon Moon rise over the field…it’s just about perfect!

  2. The name “Sod Poodle” is a local term for the prairie dog, which is highly prevalent in West Texas.[10] The name was meant to convey the values of sticking together, being family oriented, and self sufficient.
